The earthworks specialist and the structural engineer said it doesn’t need to be supported at all, 200kN load plate compression test at the corners was fine.... but we want a straight finish at the bottom

That looks very fine-grained. With an undermining (pipe break is enough) I expect it to collapse like a soufflé. Nowadays, a lot of embankments are made where I think: someone has probably never seen a landslide.

This is 0-45 frost protection gravel, but I cannot share your concerns. Everything is in order. We are only this high in the last third of the extension; where the basic pipes used to be, we are standing on a 60 gravel bed.

Nothing against you 11ant, but I’d rather trust the 3 Gestirn Architect, Earthworker and Structural Engineer before I let the forum drive me crazy. Oh yes, everything was carried out exactly according to the specifications of the [Bodengutachten].

: it looks like you have heavily backfilled towards the neighbor and the field, approximately 1 m (?)

The slope to the left (as viewed from the front) needs to be supported about 2 m. To the right, it is not so bad. You can see this more clearly in the picture below.

How high is the height difference between the embankment and the terrain at your location?
