    Apex Engineers was asked to design a retaining wall for this home, yet the wall had to stay three feet away from a very nearby storm sewer line so that it would not be jeopardized should the line ever be dug up. The team at Apex not only solved this problem by designing a 13-foot wall tied to the driveway slab and an unorthodox footing, but we also were able to give the homeowners 15 feet more of usable space on their driveway.
