Concrete bolt down retaining wall units, are a versatile product which can be used to store and retain a wide variety of materials. Installation of the precast units is quick and easy, the elements are drilled and fixed to a reinforced concrete foundation or concrete floor slab, using a resin anchor system. Once the units are secured to the foundation, no additional support is required, making them the perfect solution if you have no existing steelwork to fix to.
90o & 45o corner units are also available for all heights, enabling you to construct bays with ease. Joints between the precast elements can be sealed, enabling these products to be used for the storage of liquids.
Wall units are manufactured under factory control, have been designed to relevant British (BS) & Eurocode (EN) standards and are CE marked.
