What is a retaining wall, and why are they important?

Here in Christchurch we have a diverse array of topography, being the unique creatures us humans are means we like to build on the hills

Excavating on the hill is fine, but un-retained excavations and certain slopes can at times be potentially dangerous to people and structures above and below - This is where retaining walls come in. 

Generally speaking, retaining walls should be accounted for in the design stage of a new build, however at times this can be unforeseen due to topography and site conditions.
