This document estimates the cost savings of forming a slope along a boundary instead of constructing a retaining wall. It estimates extra costs of $817,560 for excavating a slope and increased pile wastage. Omitting the retaining wall saves $1,852,776 by avoiding concrete, rebar, formworks, waterstops and waterproofing, for a net savings of $1,035,216.
