The Hidden Costs of Using Concrete Sleepers for Retaining Walls

The Hidden Costs of Using Concrete Sleepers for Retaining Walls

Concrete sleepers might seem like the standard choice for retaining walls—but are they really worth it?
When you take a closer look at the time, labour, and equipment involved, the true cost of concrete becomes hard to ignore.

The Labour Trap of Concrete Sleepers

Concrete sleepers are notoriously heavy. Installing them typically requires:

  • A crane or lifting equipment
  • A full team of labourers
  • Careful planning to avoid injury and delays

But here’s the reality: when one team member doesn’t show up, the entire project can grind to a halt. You’re left paying for idle time, rescheduling work, and absorbing unexpected delays. Not to mention the rising cost of hiring experienced labour in today’s market.

The Logistical Headaches

Transporting concrete sleepers isn’t just expensive—it’s also logistically complex. From delivery scheduling to site access, even a small misstep can set your timeline (and budget) back days.

Plus, concrete is prone to chipping, cracking, and long-term degradation, especially in harsh weather conditions.
