Retention Structures (Walls and Tunnels)

A retaining structure supports earth and water loads. Barr's geologists, geotechnical engineers, and structural engineers model site factors such as stress, strain, deformation, pore pressures, settlement, consolidation. We routinely design:

  • Steel sheetpile walls
  • Mass concrete structures
  • Reinforced concrete walls
  • Segmental walls
  • Tunnels
  • Culverts
  • Pipelines

We have extensive experience with the use of geosynthetics, as well as the following retention types:

  • Sheet pile—Cantilever, braced, tie-back, cellular
  • Concrete—reinforced, mass, segmental
  • Buried structures—pipelines, culverts, tunnels, vaults
  • Tiebacks and anchors—soil, rock and helical anchors, deadmen
