I am currently designing this foreign project (road widening). The height of the wall is 9 meters. The road widening is practically small that a MSE Wall will be impossible since there is an existing road. That is why the contractor opted to instead use Cantilever Wall on footing on piles. However, the road is beside a residential homes that using driven piles were not considered. Therefore, micropiles were instead considered.

Do you have any design materials, considerations, that can be used on the design? Thanks in advance.

Very truly yours,

Ensure you account for the horizontal forces, particularly in the micro piles
