Building a 2 mtr block retaining wall to protect against river erosion.
Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 4.00 PM
Do I need to fit drainage tubes as the river rises periodically around 6 feet, so any drainage would periodically be below the water levels?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Yes put drainage holes in block wall this would ease pressure on wall.

You must consult a arkitect as calculations are required in order to make the wall preshure resistant.

no dont put no drainage into the wall as this would allow water ingress, use solid 225 concrete blocks

Is the wall 2m long or is it 2m high if 2m high I would not put drainage tubs in wall I would divert river water into a catchment tank or man hole with water running of to main drain to stop flooding
