Morgan Engineering LLC Designs 500+ Foot-Long Retaining Wall to Facilitate Warehouse Construction and Improve Site Usability
A modern warehouse is more than just a mass structure that houses materials and equipment – it is a process that begins with vigorous, comprehensive location site analysis that includes soil testing, load and earth pressure calculations, and stormwater management.

Structural Engineer Patrick Laudisi of Morgan Engineering recently completed the design and implementation of a 507-foot long by 8-foot-high retaining wall adjacent to a 141,000 square foot new warehouse construction in northern Ocean County, NJ. From base to cap, the wall includes structural components, a comprehensive drainage system, and substantial reinforcement and anchoring tools and techniques. Morgan Engineering understands that warehouses must be designed and built to support and withstand heavy inventory, machinery, vehicle traffic, and varying weather conditions. A modern warehouse must be designed by professional structural and geotechnical engineers with the design knowledge to include reinforcement systems and drainage systems to provide a stable base and ensure the structures stand tall for lifetimes. |

Advised structural engineer Patrick Laudisi, “This was a long, windy-type structure that demanded installation precision as the site utility relies on the layout of the wall, creating the landscape that allowed the site to be developed to the extent desired. We are very happy with the outcome and we are confident its purpose has been achieved for our clients.”
