Welcome to Vickery Engineering & Consulting

Professional engineering firm specializing in

retaining walls, boulders, pavers, and slopes.

Welcome to the world of Vickery Engineering & Consulting, LLC ('VEC') - a professional engineering firm specializing in the design and consulting of segmental retaining walls, reinforced slopes, and permeable paver systems in the Midwest. With over 24 years in the segmental retaining wall industry, Ron Vickery leads the way, as the President & Principal Engineer of VEC since 2007.

Why do we need retaining walls?

In most of the United States, the majority of the usable land has already been developed. The remaining undeveloped land is not suitable for construction without significant site modifications. The use of segmental retaining walls can significantly increase usable site space while reducing the amount of grading required, adding the strength of a beautiful structure designed to remain in place for many generations. And, by using segmental retaining walls, which are naturally environmentally-friendly products, we can make this world more "green" and beautiful!

Why do I need an engineer?

Larger retaining walls are a structural system and need to be designed by a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) with a knowledge of geotechnical specifications to ensure lasting stability. Many municipalities and governments require a retaining wall be engineered. This is among the services VEC provides - creating innovative engineering solutions to make the world a bit more stable!
