Proposal for Retaining Wall Construction (Designed to Last, Built with Care)
Dear Valued Client,
Thank you for entrusting JMG Construction & General Merchandise with the opportunity to propose a solution for your retaining wall requirements in Mambuaya, Cagayan de Oro. We have meticulously analyzed the site conditions and your project goals to deliver a proposal that ensures long-lasting structural stability, cost-effectiveness, and timely execution.
1. Our Commitment
At JMG, we believe in building more than just structures; we build trust and partnerships. Your safety, satisfaction, and investment value are our top priorities. This retaining wall is more than a barrier—it’s a foundation for the safety of your property and family. With over 100+ successful projects completed, we assure you of precision, professionalism, and peace of mind throughout the project.
2. Site Condition Analysis
After an in-depth assessment of the site and project specifications, here’s what we’ve identified:
- Slope Stability Risk:
- The steep slope and loose soil require a robust retaining wall foundation.
- Potential risks of erosion or sliding during heavy rainfall.
- Optimal Design Dimensions:
- Total length: 60 meters (40m rear, 20m left).
- Height: 3 meters, with a 1.5m base width for maximum stability.
- Toe projection of 0.45m and heel projection of 1.05m to counter lateral soil pressure.
- Strategic Drainage Solution:
- Installation of weep holes and perforated pipes ensures water flow, reducing hydrostatic pressure that can compromise the wall’s integrity.
- Accessibility and Terrain Challenges:
- Proximity to a minor road may pose equipment movement challenges but is manageable within the proposed timeframe.
3. Design and Construction Methodology
Key Features:
- Foundation Preparation: Excavation and compaction tailored to uneven terrain to ensure proper load distribution.
- Reinforced Concrete (M25): Strong, durable, and capable of withstanding soil and environmental pressure.
- Efficient Drainage System: Prevents water buildup, extending the wall’s lifespan.
- Aesthetic Finish: Smooth plastering to complement the site’s natural beauty.
