This is Earth Retention.

Engineering volume is up. Material sales at record levels. Adding people to keep pace with growth. The workload is real, and so is the momentum.

Engineers solving problems that don't have easy answers. Materials going out before sunrise to keep projects on schedule. Support and finance building the structure to scale. Sales and operations keeping relationships and commitments moving. Software and tools that make the work faster – for us and for the industry.

Design work. Supply coordination. Technical support. All of it matters. All of it connects.

No one in this picture is more important than anyone else. Everyone has a role. Everyone shows up and does that role at the highest level. That's why this works.

We're Design. Supply. Support.

And we're every face you see here.

This is Earth Retention. Powered by the best.

Support is where partnerships last.

At Earth Retention, we know our work doesn’t end when design documents are stamped or when materials are delivered. Real value comes when we continue to walk alongside our partners — providing tools, training, and resources that help projects succeed long-term.

That’s why Support has become one of our strongest foundations.

Through ER Design Studio — previously known as CTiWare — we offer software like Vespa, AWall, and the EZER Toolbar. It’s a new name and an expanded brand, but the same trusted tools that save engineers and contractors time, increase accuracy, and make complex retaining wall designs faster and easier.

And through Earth Retention U, we’re extending that support with live workshops and training. Just last week, we hosted a full-day workshop in Aberdeen, MD, where engineers and contractors got hands-on experience with our tools and methods. It was a great success — and the first of many.

📅 More workshops are coming soon in other regions. Watch here for updates and opportunities to participate.

Support means standing behind our partners long after the first drawing or the last truckload.
Because that’s where trust is built.

Design. Supply. Support.
It’s more than a tagline. It’s how we do business.

Supply keeps the work moving.

It doesn’t matter how strong the design is — if materials don’t show up, the project doesn’t move. That’s why Supply is at the heart of Earth Retention.

This summer, demand has been at record levels. Since May, the front parking lot at our Woodstock HQ has been filled daily with pickups, staging, and truckloads moving out. To keep up, we’ve expanded with 15,000 square feet of additional warehouse space and secured new capacity in North Carolina.

Our sales team is matching that momentum — with Jim Kelley setting a new personal and company milestone in July. A clear reminder of the opportunities we’re capturing as demand continues to grow.

Behind the numbers is a team working forklifts at 7 a.m., coordinating shipments across states, and making sure customers have what they need when they need it.

Because at the end of the day, walls don’t get built without materials on site.
And that’s why we focus on Supply.

📅 The countdown is on: September 30 in Aberdeen, MD.

Don’t miss your chance to learn from two of the most respected names in retaining wall design:

🔹 Michael Bernardi, P.E. – Co-founder of Vespa, technical editor of NCMA’s 3rd Edition Design Manual.
🔹 Scott Czewski, P.E. – Geotechnical engineer with 30+ years of experience supporting contractors and designing soil reinforcement systems.

Together with Ryan Doherty (EZER Toolbar lead), they’ll deliver practical, hands-on training that can transform your workflow.

Here’s what you’ll walk away with:
✅ Faster designs (3 days of work → 3 hours of tools)
✅ PDHs you can put to use right away
✅ Tools and insights you can apply on your very next project

Design is where it all begins.

At Earth Retention, every wall starts long before the first bucket of dirt is moved. It begins with careful engineering, smart planning, and tools that turn complex challenges into buildable solutions.

In Q2 alone, our design team processed nearly 5 million square feet of wall face area — from early concepts to final stamped drawings. That work represents hundreds of projects, including major infrastructure and data center sites where speed, precision, and reliability matter most.

Behind those numbers is a team of engineers who do more than put drawings on paper. They help contractors win jobs, avoid costly mistakes, and move faster on-site. Paired with tools like Vespa, AWall, and the EZER Toolbar, design becomes not just a service — but a competitive advantage.

Because at the end of the day, great walls don’t start in the field.
They start with Design.

Design smarter. Build faster. Stay ahead.

The retaining wall industry is evolving — and the best way to stay ahead is through practical training led by those who’ve built the standards we use today.

Join us in Aberdeen, MD on September 30 for a full-day Earth Retention U Engineering Workshop, featuring:

🎤 Michael Bernardi, P.E. – Co-founder of Vespa software, Technical Editor of the NCMA 3rd Edition Design Manual, and nearly 50 years of geotechnical engineering expertise.
🎤 Scott Czewski, P.E. – 30+ years of experience in geotechnical studies, soil reinforcement, temporary shoring, and geogrid system design.
🎤 Ryan Doherty – Leader of the new EZER Toolbar, making Vespa even easier to use.

What you’ll learn:

- Hands-on training with Vespa, AWall, and the EZER Toolbar

- How to cut retaining wall design workflows from 3 days to 3 hours

- Practical updates on design codes and best practices

- 7 PDHs included

At Earth Retention, three words guide everything we do:

Design. Supply. Support.

They aren’t just a tagline. They’re the foundation of how we serve contractors, engineers, and developers across the country:

🔹 Design – It starts with precision engineering. Our team delivers plans that save time, reduce risk, and make complex sites buildable.

🔹 Supply – Materials have to move. From warehouses in Georgia and beyond, we keep projects flowing with the right products, in the right place, at the right time.

🔹 Support – We don’t stop at documents or deliveries. Through training, software, and on-the-ground expertise, we equip partners to succeed long after the wall is built.

Together, these pillars set Earth Retention apart. In the coming weeks, we’ll share stories and examples that show how Design, Supply, and Support are driving growth — not just for us, but for the partners and projects we’re privileged to be part of.

👉 Stay tuned for the first post in the series: Design.

What’s the deal with Welded Wire Forms?
✅ Fast to install
✅ Excellent compaction visibility
✅ Cost-effective

But that’s not all…

Welded Wire Forms aren’t just for temporary solutions — they’re engineered as direct replacements for permanent wall structures while still offering the flexibility contractors need on challenging sites.

Why engineers choose them:
✔️ Performs as a permanent wall system or as a temporary solution
✔️ Handles high differential and total settlement
✔️ Faster to install than segmental retaining walls
✔️ Lightweight: \~26 lbs per 15 sq ft form
✔️ Economical: Ship up to 20,000 sq ft per truck
✔️ Supplied as hot-dip galvanized steel (ASTM A123) or uncoated, black steel
✔️ Ideal for permanent walls, temporary walls, reinforced slopes, and vegetated solutions

Engineered to perform where other systems struggle. Backed by our DESIGN + SUPPLY + SUPPORT approach.
