Photo Album: Retaining Wall Repair in Nicholasville, Kentucky
This retaining wall in Nicholasville, KY was tilting over time as the weight of water, erosion, and soil was throwing it off balance. We installed two wall anchors and a french drain to ensure the wall is stable. The wall anchors were screwed laterally into the hillside, and the french drain was installed to keep water from piling up against the wall. The anchors provide a point of tension to hold back the wall from tilting further.
Helical Wall Anchor Plates
The helical wall anchors have been attached to the wall with a series of metal plates. This will secure the wall to the anchors.
Helical Anchor Screwed Into the Earth
The Helical Wall Anchor is screwed into the ground at an angle, and will provide a point of tension to "anchor" back the wall.
French Drain Connected to LawnScape Outlet
The French Drain is installed outside and will capture any water and divert it away so it cannot erode or damage the wall.
