Lyttelton's hillside properties are some of the most dramatically situated in Canterbury - and among the most challenging to work on. Steep grades, tight access, and volcanic rock make retaining wall work here a specialist job. It's not the kind of site you hand to a contractor who hasn't done it before.
This project was a full retaining wall replacement. The existing structure had deteriorated and required removal before the new wall could be installed. TBT's team managed the full scope: demolition of the old wall, disposal of materials, engineering-compliant installation of the new system, and backfilling to specification.
Access and Equipment on Tight Hill Sites
One of the practical challenges on Lyttelton sites is access. Many properties have narrow driveways, limited turning room, and in some cases, the only practical approach is from above the site rather than below. TBT's equipment fleet - including smaller 5-tonne excavators suited to tight residential sites - means the job gets done without damage to the surrounding property.
