retaining wall help

3 years ago

I am building a 48’x8’ L shaped retaining wall so far I have poured a 3’x 20” deep footer buried in very solid ground. I have rebar on 1 foot centers throughout the footer, and I’m currently putting rebar together for the Snap ties and forms for wall on 1 foot centers as well. I’m using 10 inch snap ties and I am considering putting a 10”c 3-4’ leg of the wall into the earthen face of the wall for each section. I am placing one and a half inch PVC pipe 2 feet up from the footer on 3’ centers to drain water buildup. Does this plan sound secure to you?
