We can provide 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:
We always recommend having a retaining wall design checked by a qualified engineer. We can provide a full design service if you don't have an appointed engineer for your project.
If the precast units are being used to construct material storage bays, we have other block profiles available to add to the versatility of this product.
When using the blocks for retaining material, there is a maximum height that the 800mm or 600mm wide blocks will be able to retain the material. This height will change, depending on the material density - the heavier the material, the shorter the retained height.
If you need to create a wall that goes above the recommended retained height or if the material will be heaped above the top of the wall, then the bottom block(s) can be rotated through 90o for additional stability. When you're building multiple storage bays and dividing walls are required, we have a specific block profile which tapers on both faces and allows the material to flow off the block and creates a stable base for the retaining wall at the same time.
If you are not sure what size or weights of the interlocking block would best suit your project, speak to our team, who are happy to help and will be able to advise on the most cost-effective option.
Due to the weight of the blocks, they can be a cost-effective concrete barrier for helping to protect vacant properties. the weight of each full block is:
The concrete blocks can also be used as an alternative to our ballast and kentledge blocks for providing a counterweight to hoarding and scaffolding.
As with all our products, we offer a design and installation service for the interlocking concrete blocks for the construction of retaining walls, please speak to the contracts team for more information and to get a free quotation.
We provide a full design, construction and precast concrete installation service for all of our products, enabling us to offer turnkey solutions.
Our dedicated team of structural engineers, groundworkers & precast installers have experience of delivering a wide range of construction projects and operate nationwide.
