Project Brief

Engineering stability into a Calgary slope.

Our engineering team was proud to provide design and analysis services for a soil retaining wall at Rocky Ridge Athletic Park in Calgary. The wall was constructed using lock block units reinforced with geogrid layers, delivering a durable and efficient solution. The project focused on enhancing long-term ground stability while ensuring reliable performance under challenging site conditions.

These engineered retaining systems play a critical role in managing steep grade transitions, reducing erosion risk, and protecting surrounding infrastructure. Solutions like this are especially important in Calgary's variable terrain, where soil conditions and elevation changes can significantly impact long-term performance.

The final result is a durable, constructible solution that balances safety, efficiency, and constructability in the field.
