  Cast-in-Place concrete walls are simple, yet robust structures preferred in applications where flexible walls are not acceptable.   Cast-in-place concrete  walls are also preferred in free-standing applications.   These walls are normally not cost effective at heights greater than approximately 15 feet.

Pinnacle Design/Build - Cast-In-Place (CIP) Retaining Walls Project Profiles
  Marketplace at Birmingham Village, Alpharetta, GA
 

PROJECT FACTS:  Wall Area = 17,760 SF; Max Ht = 18 FT

 

CHALLENGE:  The commercial developer required the site storm water detention basins to be more cost effective than cast in place concrete.
 
SOLUTION:  Our engineers redesigned the detention basin walls from all cast-in-place concrete to a composite vegetated welded wire form /cast in place retaining wall.
 
VALUE:  This solution provided 35% cost savings over the previously designed wall and provided more pleasing appearance.
 

 
  Stonewyck Detention Basin, Alpharetta, GA

PROJECT FACTS:  Wall Area = 5,000 SF; Max Ht = 20 FT

 

CHALLENGE:  The residential developer for this project required a storm water detention basin that was more cost effective and aesthetically pleasing than the continuous cast in place concrete wall originally designed for the project.

 

SOLUTION:  Our engineers redesigned the detention basin wall from a single large cast-in-place concrete wall to a composite segmental retaining wall/cast in place concrete retaining wall.  We constructed the concrete wall first then butted the segmental retaining wall into it.

 

VALUE:  This solution provided 25% cost savings over the previously designed wall and provided more pleasing appearance.

 
  Piedmont West,  Atlanta, GA

PROJECT FACTS:  Wall Area = 5,300 SF; Max Ht = 18 FT

 

CHALLENGE:  The commercial development required retaining walls to create a below grade stormwater detention pond on a congested construction site with limited right of way.

 

SOLUTION:  Pinnacle Design/Build designed and constructed a tied-back soldier pile and lagging walls with a cast-in-place concrete facing on three sides of the structure and a segmental retaining wall on the fourth.

 

VALUE:  The Pinnacle Design/Build solution enabled construction of the stormwater detention basin within the limited confines available.  The solution provided a substantial cost savings over the originally designed cast in place concrete retaining walls.

 
  Providence Marketplace,  Mt. Juliet, TN

PROJECT FACTS:  Wall Area = 14,000 SF; Max Ht =  22 FT

 

CHALLENGE:  The developer of this retail site was required to create a storm water detention structure in high ground water table and exposed surface rock conditions.

 

SOLUTION:  Pinnacle Design/Build engineered and constructed a composite wall system consisting of a free standing cast-in-place concrete wall abutted to a stone faced MSE wall.

 

VALUE:  This solution reduced the overall cost of the structure by reducing the amount of cast-in-place concrete required.  In addition, the design was easily adapted to meet the difficult ground water and surficial rock conditions.
