Design Support for Novum Wall Projects

It starts with people who are passionate about walls done right. Novum Wall engineers want you and your client to be as pleased with the process as you are with the finished project.

  • Feasibility assessments. Our experienced and accessible engineering team can guide wall designers through challenging designs and help objectively determine if Novum Wall is the right choice for the scenario.

  • Product recommendations. Does your project require a gravity wall or a mechanically stabilized earth (MSE)/reinforced solution? Novum Wall offers both, and our professionals can help you decide what your site needs.

  • Design optimization. We’re not here to tell design professionals how to do their jobs, but we can help them optimize their wall design, saving time and money.

  • Plan reviews and calculations. Is the design already underway? Appreciate peace of mind when another set of experienced eyes reviews existing plans and calculations.

Count on us to help you kick off your project right with expert advice developed through decades of retaining wall experience.
