Dock and retaining walls survey with the use of GPR will recover information about structural integrity of those structures.
Dock and retaining walls survey using Ground
Penetrating Radar (GPR) is cost effective method to identify which areas of the
structure require maintenance. GPR survey is non-intrusive which means that it
will cause no damage to the surface and the inside of the scanned wall.
Dock and
retaining walls usually receive very little routine repairs. Only, until the
passage of time allows problems to develop, often in the form of voiding or
subsidence created by material wash out, the barriers are properly inspected.
When problems occur, the wall can fail, therefore choosing a survey which will
cause no further damage is a priority.
Dock and retaining wall survey will determine structural information including construction details such as the thickness of the wall and changes in its thickness vertically or along its length, as well as other features within the wall itself.

FAQ
What is a lifespan of a retaining wall?
Typical lifespan of a permanent retaining wall varies between 25-100 years depending on material, soil and underground water. Concrete and prefabricated concrete block retaining walls are one of the most durable and can last between 50 to 100 years. Stone and masonry retaining walls are also strong and their effective life is like walls made of concrete. Timber retaining wall can last between 20-30 years with adequate maintenance.
Who is responsible for maintaining retaining wall?
Unless deeds of the property state otherwise, it is an owner of the higher land (or the owner of the land retained) who is responsible for maintenance of the retaining wall.
