Retaining Wall Drainage Designer

Retaining Wall Drainage Designer MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Calculates drainage pipe diameter, gravel filter thickness, and weep hole spacing for retaining walls.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized engineering calculations to ensure the structural integrity of retaining walls by managing hydrostatic pressure. It allows AI agents to design critical drainage infrastructure, including determining the required calculate_drain_pipe_diameter to handle water inflow, calculating the calculate_gravel_filter_thickness to prevent soil migration, and determining calculate_weep_hole_spacing for excess water exit. Users can also use evaluate_drainage_safety_margin to assess the overall design against clogging and pressure risks.

4 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

calculate_gravel_filter_thickness

Calculates the necessary thickness of the gravel filter layer to prevent soil migration and clogging

calculate_drain_pipe_diameter

Determines the required diameter of the perforated drainage pipe to accommodate the expected water volume

calculate_weep_hole_spacing

Determines the optimal distance between weep holes in the retaining wall face

evaluate_drainage_safety_margin

Provides an assessment of the overall drainage design's adequacy against clogging and pressure risks

Calculate the required drainage pipe diameter for a wall that is 3 meters high and 10 meters long with a water inflow rate of 0.05 m3/s.

The required drainage pipe diameter is 250 mm, providing a sufficient flow capacity for the specified inflow.

What is the recommended gravel filter thickness for a 5m high, 20m long wall with a backfill permeability of 0.001 m/s and an inflow rate of 0.1 m3/s?

The recommended gravel filter thickness is 300 mm, with a low clogging risk level.

Determine the weep hole spacing for a 2m high and 15m long wall with a water inflow rate of 0.02 m3/s.

The optimal weep hole spacing is 1200 mm, requiring a total of 13 weep holes along the wall face.

To use `calculate_drain_pipe_diameter`, you need to provide the wall height in meters, the total wall length in meters, and the water inflow rate.
