Retaining Wall collapsed after heavy rains?

Retaining Wall collapsed after heavy rains?

This wall was built very poorly by the constructor of the villa in Sierra Blanca, Marbella. The wall was of insufficient strength to be able to support the weight of the terrain and the pool above it.

The rains were torrential, above the normal average, but a structural wall should be strong enough to support it.

Collapsing garden wall retaining wall and terrace re built, Estepona, Malaga, Spain

Due to poor quality of building this garden wall became dangerous, showing huge cracks. It was about to collapse into the street. Once we started to demolish the wall, we found that there was nothing supporting the terrace and the wall had no reinforcing. Inside the terrace the wall is around 1.60m high, but out in the road it is just under 2.5m high, so if it was to collapse it could do significant damage, injure someone, or block the road.

The wall had cracks and would have eventually failed but the damage was aggravated by heavy rain at the end of 2016. The torrential rain flooded the terrace, then washed out the earth from underneath. If the wall had been built properly in the first place, this would not have been a problem.

We will completely demolish the wall, pour new reinforced concrete foundations and then rebuild the wall. The terrace will have a new concrete slab poured with the correct steel reinforcing and drainage points put in.

We will then tile the terrace in non slip tiles (essential in a swimming pool area), leaving it looking like new.

If you have walls with cracks, it is best to have them looked at by a professional builder before they become dangerous. It is possible that the damage can be halted, or underpinned, saving money.
