A crib retaining wall is a gravity retaining structure, usually employed for soil stabilization and erosion control. It consists of interlocking boxes made from precast concrete or timber, forming a crib-like framework. This framework is then filled with granular material. Crib Retaining Walls are constructed with typical heights of 6’-20’ (1.83-6.1 m), overall depths of 2.5’-6.5’ (.76-1.98 m), and block heights between 8”-20” (20.3-50.8 cm). Crib Retaining Walls are often created at an angle of 10-20 degrees and structural spacings between 2.5’-6.5’ (.76-1.98 m). Retaining wall lengths vary as needed.

A gravity retaining wall is a structure designed to hold back soil or loose materials, preventing them from eroding or collapsing. It relies on its own weight to counteract the lateral forces exerted by the retained material. The wall's base is usually wider than the top. Gravity Retaining Walls are constructed with typical heights of 2’-16’ (.61-4.88 m), base depths of 1’-8’ (.3-2.44 m), and wall thicknesses between .5’-5’ (.15-1.52 m). Gravity Retaining Walls are often created at an angle of 6-12 degrees. Retaining wall lengths vary as needed.

An anchored retaining wall is a structure that employs anchoring cables or rods for added stability when holding back soil. These walls are often used in situations with limited space or where a high load is anticipated. The anchors are driven deep into the soil or rock behind the wall. Anchored Retaining Walls are constructed with typical heights of 6’-18’ (1.83-5.49 m) and wall depths of 8”-24” (20.1-61 cm). Retaining wall lengths vary as needed.

A buttress retaining wall is an enhanced structural solution for holding back soil on sloped terrains. It consists of a vertical wall that’s reinforced with support elements, known as buttresses, which extend at right angles or are inclined from the face of the wall. Buttress Retaining Walls are constructed with typical heights of 4’-25’ (1.22-7.62 m), base depths of 2.5’-15’ (.76-4.57 m), and wall thicknesses between 8”-24” (20.1-61 cm).

Wall mounted ramp handrails are handrails used along any accessible ramp that is comprised of walls on one or either side of the run. Wall mounted ramp handrails provide support and stability to individuals walking up or down the ramp. These handrails typically consist of a sturdy, durable material. The Ramp (Handrails Wall) has an overall combined height of 4.17’ (127 cm), total length of 22.33’ (6.81 m), and width of 49.5” (125.7 cm). Dimensions will vary based on the desired slope and height needed. When handrails are attached to a wall, an offset gap of at least 1.5” (3.8 cm) must be continuously maintained between the handrail and the wall surface. In situations where a handrail is not continuous, handrails must extend at least another 12” (30.5 cm) parallel to the flat surface of the ramp landing. Handrails along both sides of a ramp are required on any ramp system with a rise greater than 6” (15.2 cm) or a horizontal run greater than 72” (182.9 cm). The top grippable surface of any ramp handrail must be set at a height between 34”-38” (86.4-96.5 cm) above the ramp surface and a minimum clear width of 36” (91.4 cm) must be provided between handrails. Inner handrails on a switchback or turned ramp must always be continuous.
