Retaining Structures
Gabion and mechanically stabilised earth retaining walls, slope stabilisation and erosion control.
Overview
Tetrabuild designs and builds the structures that hold ground back — gabion walls, mechanically stabilised earth walls and reinforced slopes — using the geosynthetics we supply from our own stock.
Materials from our own stock
Geotextiles, geogrids and gabions come from our warehouse, not a third-party lead time.
Ground-first thinking
Geotechnical assessment informs the solution, so remedial works do not become the project.
Flexible by design
Gabion and MSE structures tolerate the differential settlement a rigid wall would not — which is precisely why we specify them.
Scope of works
- Gabion retaining walls, revetments and mattresses
- Mechanically stabilised earth (MSE) retaining walls
- Geogrid-reinforced soil structures
- Geotechnical works and ground improvement
- Slope stabilisation and erosion control
- Bulk earthworks, drainage and site formation
Who this is for
- Main contractors on road, bridge and dam programmes
- District and municipal local government
- Developers working on cut-and-fill sites
How we run it
Work process: from first call to handover
The same six stages on every job, in this order, because on a construction project the order genuinely matters.
Consultation
We listen to the requirement and tell you plainly whether we are the right firm for it.
Site visit
An engineer attends site to establish real conditions rather than assumed ones.
Quotation
A priced, itemised quotation with the specification stated, not a lump sum.
Planning
Programme, method statement, materials schedule and site logistics agreed before mobilisation.
Execution
Directly employed crews, supervised, with progress reported against the programme.
Completion
Testing, snagging, handover documentation and warranty issue.

Questions
Before you ask us
Frequently. Much of our retaining and geotechnical work is delivered as a specialist package for main contractors on road, bridge and dam programmes.
Yes. We design and install gabion and geosynthetic solutions for slope protection, river training and culvert headwalls.
Both. You can buy geosynthetics from us for your own crews, or take a supply-and-install package.
