We can provide a variety of technical information to enable a project engineer to carry out their design checks and incorporate the precast element into their overall retaining wall design, including:
It is always advisable to have any retaining wall design checked by a qualified engineer. We can also provide a full design service if you do not have an appointed engineer for your project.
When using the standard blocks, there is a maximum height that an 800mm or 600mm will be able to retain the material; this height will vary, depending on the material density.
For situations where you need to create a higher wall, or if the material will be heaped above the top of the wall, the bottom block(s) can be rotated through 90o for additional stability.
In this situation, where dividing walls are required, we have a specific block profile which tapers on both faces to enable material to flow off the wider base, while still creating a stable base for the retaining wall.
If you are not sure what size would best suit your project, speak to our product experts, who will be able to advise on the most cost-effective product.
If being used as a fire or blast wall, additional consideration is needed for the sealing of the joints between the blocks; we can recommend and supply suitable products for this.
Due to the weight of the blocks, they can be a cost-effective concrete barrier for helping to protect vacant properties.
The concrete blocks are also used as an alternative to our ballast and kentledge blocks for providing a counterweight to hoarding and scaffolding.
