Reinforced Concrete Walls in Taunton SW — RC Retaining and Basement Walls

RC walls are needed wherever earth must be retained or a basement formed: retaining walls, basement walls, and the walls of any below-ground structure. They suit residential and commercial projects with below-ground elements.

Typical RC wall projects include basement walls for domestic conversions, retaining walls for commercial substructures, and the walls of any below-ground structure.

Reinforced concrete walls are used to retain earth (retaining walls) and to form basement structures (basement walls). The wall is designed for the lateral earth and water pressures it must resist, with reinforcement top and bottom to handle the bending. We design the wall — section, reinforcement and waterproofing — and then fix the steel, set the formwork, and place the concrete. The walls are part of the coordinated substructure package.

We design the wall — section, reinforcement and waterproofing. Our team fixes the steel, sets the formwork, and places the concrete. We coordinate with building control and ensure the wall meets the specification and the waterproofing requirements.

RC wall cost depends on the wall length and height, the section, the reinforcement, and the waterproofing specification. The retained height and water pressure also affect cost. We provide a fixed quote within 48 hours of the site visit.

Do RC basement walls need waterproofing?

Yes. Below-ground RC walls need a waterproofing specification — either integral waterproofing in the concrete, an external membrane, or an internal tanking system. We design the waterproofing as part of the wall package, so the structure and the waterproofing work together.
