See What It Takes To Build And Pour Concrete Retaining Wall 2021

no drain pipes needed?

Im in the Bay Area as well. Im researching and looking for someone to do my retaining wall sometime in the summer time. How much does a typical 100' long 5 feet tall wall run? So I can get an idea how much to save.

Why isn't there any contraction joint?

Looks nice.

I would not allow wood to remain in footing. Doing that just to save time & money. Not right.

Your longer walls, do you try to use longest hor bars possible, minimizing overlaps?

Wow, i need this done on my property, rough estimate for this ?

Do these have to be used as retaining walls or can they serve as free standing perimeter walls as an option to cinder block?

Different climate different rules I guess. We could never have any steel break the surface of the concrete, or leave any wood. Rust and termites is the given reason.

Busy binge-watching all your back catalog content and learning so much! Thank you! 🙏

We could build that same wall with 4x8 sheets if form ply paper face. In 1/4 of the time and 2guys ….rebar delivered. Bent just install This is middle ages forming

What was the total build cost?

Hi that’s a strong wall solid I like things that are built strong looks good have a nice day stay safe cheers 👍👍👍😀😀🍺🦘

Great video!

Amazing work as expected!

Do you mind sharing what brand/model of grey hoodies you get printed for your guys? they look like a great fit.

Nice! maybe it was necessary to lay 8-10 pieces, pipes in the wall, so that the water would come out? I and tilt the wall about 5 degrees towards the mountain. I could be wrong ___))

Do you cut the stakes and leave them in the footing or when do you remove them?

What calculations were done to determine this walls dimensions?

BRO! Great video

why arent u using wall forms

Good show!

By the time they put the first row of boards up, I could have the job finished with concrete and full of steel with footing. Stripped and gone to next job!!!

I'm not concrete guy did a little carpentry stil do but my question is if that dirt , hill decides to slide down against the wall will it simply topple the wall?

Redi-Rock

No tie backs/ dead men? I know that monolith is strong but I didn’t think you could just pour a 5ft wall with nothing on the backside. Nice work though!

Great video and who cares what I think but I prefer the inter action between the guys not the music! But you’re obviously doing something right look at your views ! Great job!

The hard way of building a retaining wall!

Probably doesn’t matter in the big picture, but as a concrete guy myself.. the wood left in the pour drives me nuts. Great work, though.

Which cost more? The house or the this wall?

Should have battered the wall backwards towards hill. Never any pressure on the wall. Could have used concrete block with rebars cheaper and faster.

Anyway nice job.

Love how you all tied in the foot to the wall and poured it all together as one that baby is strong as funk

Very nice work, cali be shaking sometimes.

Wow, nice job! what is the PSI of the cement for this retaining wall?

So you leave the points of wood 2x4 embedded in the footing on both sides of the wall (100 min) 🤔🤔🤔

that's not strong the load outside is very heavy

Whats the price of concrete in your area doing.

wouldn t the wall be stronger if all the joints were staggered

LOL, this wall is a joke.

I like this method better than the 2 x 4s and 3 /4 plywood and snap ties. This is easier to strip and faster to set up .

DANG that was insane wow nice work gents.

Always find it very interesting to see how things are built in other places, building codes, etc... - Very nice work, particularly on the footing cages. For a job like this, we would normally compact sub-base and pour the footer first (with a keyway and rebar sticking up to go into second pour) and normally require deadmans every X feet of length (depending on height and soil reports). Always a dead man or back set anchor to stop the wall from breaking and flopping over in the event of frost heaves, landslide, or other seismic considerations. I can see the base soil is clay, and I'm assuming the frost heaves are not an issue in your area. Very cool content !!!! Nice work.

Think you put the long end of the footer on the wrong side.

Just the wood used costs a couple thousand dollars…😊

Very nice ,you just biuld it backwords 😂

I wonder a estimate of a job like this. My retainer wall need some TLC and the other half need to be redone do to titling and the Blocks are crumbling. Drainage also sucks behind my walls. (Pause)

These blokes need more tool bags.

I would have used stainless steel gabion wall cages filled with chunky rock. Sometimes concrete and steel is a waste of money. Once a gabion wall is installed and settled you can plant ground covers to make that slope beautiful.
