The job I need done is alterations to an existing brick retaining wall, replacing the whole wall is not an option. Also, driving pilons (metal, wood, whatever) into the ground is not really an option because most of the ground is rock.

The engineer's plans call for a series of brick pillars/buttresses to be added along the wall and secured to the existing wall.
