Built for the demands of roadway infrastructure.

This LondonBoulder retaining wall project along County Highway 38 in Burnsville, Minnesota shows how a BIG Block gravity wall can be used to support a roadway application without geogrid reinforcement.

The 2,270 sq. ft. wall reaches 11 feet in height and was designed as an unreinforced gravity wall for a MnDOT project. The design also incorporated a 6-inch cap and fencing along the top of the wall.

Project team:
• Civil Engineer: Bolton & Menk
• Manufacturer: JME Companies
• Construction Manager: Rosti Construction
• Wall Design Engineer: Civil Design Professionals
• Wall Contractor: Rosti Construction

For engineers, contractors, municipalities, and DOT teams evaluating retaining wall systems for roadway applications, this project is a strong example of how LondonBoulder BIG Blocks can be incorporated into infrastructure design.

Planning a retaining wall project for 2027?

Successful retaining wall projects start long before construction begins. Site conditions, geotechnical information, drainage, engineering requirements, product selection, access, scheduling, and coordination can all affect cost, constructability, and long-term performance.

London Boulder created a Retaining Wall Design Checklist & Project Planning Guide to help engineers, contractors, municipalities, DOTs, and precast producers work through critical planning steps before construction season begins.

The checklist covers:

✓ Project planning
✓ Site evaluation
✓ Geotechnical and engineering review
✓ Retaining wall system selection
✓ Project coordination
✓ Construction and delivery planning
✓ Precast production planning
✓ Final pre-construction review

Whether you are planning a municipal wall, transportation project, commercial development, industrial site, or precast retaining wall application, this guide can help your team identify important decisions early and keep the project moving forward.

Need help evaluating a retaining wall application? London Boulder also provides engineering resources, CAD details, specifications, system selection guidance, and technical support.

Project Spotlight: Coachman Ridge Apartments

Great retaining walls don't just provide structural support. They become part of the property's overall design.

At Coachman Ridge Apartments in Minnesota, LondonBoulder precast blocks were used to create a curved freestanding wall that delivers both strength and architectural appeal. The natural stone texture complements the surrounding landscape while providing a durable, low-maintenance solution built to last.

This project demonstrates why developers, contractors, and precast producers continue to choose LondonBoulder systems for:

✔ Multi-family housing developments
✔ Apartment communities
✔ Commercial landscapes
✔ Property entrances and common areas
✔ Projects where appearance is just as important as performance

When you need a retaining wall or freestanding wall that combines engineered strength with a premium stone appearance, LondonBoulder delivers.

The Demand Is There. So Why Are Some Precast Plants Turning Down Work?

The challenge isn't a lack of opportunities. It's often a lack of production capacity, the right equipment, or products that meet today's market demand.

As infrastructure, commercial development, and retaining wall projects continue to grow, contractors are looking for suppliers who can deliver large, durable precast solutions quickly. Plants that aren't equipped to produce large gravity wall blocks may be forced to pass on profitable projects.

With LondonBoulder Big Block Forms, producers can expand their capabilities by manufacturing premium architectural retaining wall blocks for applications such as:

• DOT and infrastructure projects
• Commercial retaining walls
• Residential developments
• Shoreline stabilization
• Municipal and public works projects

Adding the right product line doesn't just increase production. It opens the door to new customers, larger contracts, and higher-value projects.

Don't let opportunities pass by because your plant can't produce what today's market demands.

Can You Build a Retaining Wall Without Geogrid? In Many Cases, Yes.

Not every retaining wall requires geogrid reinforcement. With a properly engineered gravity wall system, the weight of the blocks provides the stability needed for many applications, simplifying installation while reducing excavation and labor.

LondonBoulder Big Block Forms allow precast producers to manufacture large, interlocking concrete blocks that are ideal for gravity retaining walls used in:

• Commercial developments
• Municipal infrastructure
• Residential communities
• Transportation projects
• Shoreline and erosion control

The key is proper engineering. Every project should be evaluated based on wall height, soil conditions, drainage, loading requirements, and local regulations to determine the right solution.
