you can rely on.
At RWA (Retaining Walls Australia), we specialise in high-performance retaining wall solutions for industrial, commercial, and large-scale residential applications.
From MagnumStone wall systems to concrete sleeper walls and sandstone retaining structures, our work is engineered for strength, longevity, and functionality.
We understand that retaining walls are more than just structures — they’re critical to site stability, land optimisation, erosion control, and the overall visual impact of a project. That’s why we take a solutions-first approach, tailoring each design to meet the specific needs of your site, soil conditions, and project goals.
With decades of experience and a trusted in-house team, RWA has built a reputation for delivering complex projects with confidence. We work closely with engineers, developers, councils, and private clients to deliver code-compliant, fit-for-purpose, and aesthetically integrated retaining wall systems.
From feasibility assessments and design support to full-scope construction and installation, we bring together smart thinking, the right materials, and proven methods — backed by a commitment to quality, safety, and client satisfaction.

Let’s build it right — from the ground up.
Magnumstone
-
Magnumstone is a leading segmental block solution for large industrial and commercial applications. The wet-cast interlocking block system with split face natural appearance is a quick and cost-effective retaining solution. Manufactured locally to southern Queensland, Doughty Retaining Walls have developed our skills to be a leading and preferred installer of this system in South-East Queensland and Northern New South Wales.
Sandstone Block
-
Sandstone Block walls are a popular choice due to their natural durability and aesthetic. These walls are constructed using sandstone blocks with free draining aggregate backfill. Contrasting seamlessly with the landscape, these walls are often cost effective and fast to construct.
Gabion Walls
-
Constructed with heavy-duty galvanised steel with polymeric coating, Gabion walls are a great solution for many retaining applications. Suitable for creek and marine erosion control, bridge abutments and general soil stabilisation, Gabion Walls provide a natural aesthetic, durable and flexible retaining solution. These walls are also a great solution for rural applications where transport of materials from major hubs is restricted or expensive, as the rock backfill can often be sourced locally.
Segmental Block Walls
-
Segmental Block Retaining Walls are a modular block solution for large retaining requirements. These walls are designed for high load scenarios and are perfect for industrial and commercial applications. Specifically preferred in wall designs catering for heights in excess of 3m, the segments are dry stacked to create a freestanding retaining wall face. These walls can be constructed near vertical and provide flexibilty to allow both convex and concave bends to suit the project requirements.
Keystone
-
Versatile, affordable and fast to install, Keystone Retaining Wall systems are another suitable solution for any height retaining wall.
RSS Panel Walls
-
RSS Panel Walls are constructed using a composite system, including a reinforced concrete face panel with earth strapping to mechanically stabilise the soil mass behind. Face panels can be cast with an array of different colours or pattens to enhance the visual appeal of the structure.
Concrete Sleepers
-
Concrete Sleeper retaining walls are one of the most popular and effective solutions for earth retaining. Constructed from galvanised steel posts and reinforced high strength concrete sleepers, these walls can be constructed up to 4m and designed for high load environments. One of the most architecturally versitile solutions, concrete sleepers can be manufactured with an array of colours and textures to suit any aethstetic required.
Vertica
-
Similar to Keystone, Vertica Walls are another dry-build and durable retaining wall solution. With the mortarless construction method, construction is all-weather to fast-track installation.
Boulder Walls
-
Similarly to Sandstone Block walls, Boulder Walls are a cost effective and aesthetically pleasing solution for earth retaining. Relying on self-weight to withstand the lateral pressure exerted by the soil and structures behind, these walls are another cost effective retaining solution.
We know that retaining walls are more than just structural necessities. They’re critical components of your site's safety, stability, and presentation. That’s why we approach every build with a deep understanding of soil conditions, load requirements, and long-term functionality — backed by years of hands-on experience and engineering expertise.
As certified MagnumStone contractors, we’re trusted to deliver solutions that are strong, scalable, and visually refined. Whether you're working with complex elevation changes, poor soil conditions, or tight design briefs, our team has the skills and systems to deliver — on time, to code, and with no shortcuts.
From early-stage feasibility advice to full design and construct packages, RWA offers a complete, end-to-end service. We take pride in clear communication, reliable delivery, and building walls that stand the test of time — structurally and aesthetically.
We’re fully licensed, insured, and committed to the highest standards of safety, compliance, and construction excellence. With the right tools, the right people, and the right mindset, we build smarter, stronger solutions that hold firm — now and into the future.
