Review the civil concept, wall geometry, geotechnical data, loading, and project constraints.
DRJ designs retaining systems around the geometry, loading, drainage, foundations, existing conditions, and construction constraints that actually control the project.
DRJ is frequently brought in after the wall alignment, grading concept, or preferred wall system has already been established. The task is to turn that concept into a stable, practical, buildable system.
Sliding, overturning, bearing, eccentricity, embedment, surcharge, and foundation conditions.
Block configuration, reinforcement, connections, geogrid layout, concrete, steel, and specialty details where required.
Drainage, grading, utilities, slopes, adjacent structures, access, fences, traffic, waterways, and field constructability.
Review the civil concept, wall geometry, geotechnical data, loading, and project constraints.
Identify the controlling sections and work through the geometry, stability, and constructability issues.
Prepare calculations, plans, details, notes, and supporting information appropriate to the project.
Respond to reviews, revisions, field questions, substitutions, and construction-phase issues when needed.
