Additional Comments:
Had and engineering report done on both the seawall and the retaining wall in
January of 2020, both the seawall and retaining wall failed engineering. In the last
two years since the engineering report both structures have gotten exponentially
worse and are at the brink of complete collapse. I would like to make sure this does
not happen again in the future by using a segmented wall block for the retaining wall.
I would like to go to river rock for the sea wall because of the nearby storm water
drain. With storms constantly releasing high flowing water directly into the seawall
constant erosion is bound to create failure again regardless of the structural integrity
of a new seawall.

Re: Wood Framed Retaining Wall
21630 Rio Oro Drive
Cornelius, NC 28031
1 of 1
Mr. Esch,
As requested, we have completed our observation of the property and we have prepared the
following recommendations in response to your concerns about the wood framed retaining wall.
The report that follows is a summary of our observations and findings. Unless otherwise stated,
all directions are from an observer facing the front of the house.
Observations:
1. The wood framed retaining wall consists of 8x8 posts at 5-feet on center, infilled with
2x8's. The maximum wall height is 6'-8".
2. Moisture damage was observed at the base of the posts and along the bottom 2x8.
3. The wall has rotated outwards up to 6-inches.
Findings:
• The wood framed retaining wall was not designed or constructed in accordance with the
North Carolina Residential Code. The retaining wall, as built, cannot support the applied
lateral loads, as evidenced by the rotation observed.
Thank you for the opportunity to be of assistance. Please do not hesitate to contact the
undersigned if you have any questions about this report.
