We have many what I would call ‘slanted’ retaining walls. In the imagery from space it could be mistaken as being a flat area but that it aint. The case on hand is from top to bottom
Mobile hill of different soils, scrub, a drain, steep grassy slope, slanted retaining wall to include it going around an emergency parking bay with SOS phone, to motorway area in a wide excavation thru the hilly terrain leading at left to a tunnel.
The question is, where to map the wall as a line
a) at it’s footing
b) at the top.
The consequence of mapping at the base is it resulting in an unfilled gap between the grassy/shrub slope and the retaining wall.
Thought of introducing a width, but since the height varies, that width is not a constant.
FTB, mapped this at it’s base and accept the gap but it’s sub optimal.
Any suggestion to improve on this is welcome.
