Cast in retaining wall units are designed for applications where a new reinforced concrete floor will be constructed. The elements are manufactured with reinforcement exposed at the toe, allowing you to tie them into the mesh of a reinforced concrete floor slab before it’s poured. Once the units are cast into the concrete slab, no additional support is required, making them the perfect solution if you have no existing steelwork to fix to.
90o & corner sections 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) standards and are CE marked.
Below is a table outlining the characteristics of the cast in retaining wall. Here you can find information on concrete strength, material density and surcharge capacity. If you require any further details please contact us and one of our product experts will be happy to provide more information.
* These are the maximum values that can be achieved with the cast-in retaining wall. The surcharge capacity will vary depending on the overall wall height. Concrete panel finish is class A to the front face and hand trowel finish to the back face.
Compressive strength of concrete after 28 days of curing.
Maximum material density of retained material, measured in kN/m³
Maximum surcharge capacity of precast element, measured in kN/m²
Number of years precast element has been designed for.
Connection
Precast elements have flat sides & do not interlock.
Edge Detail
Square edges enable close alignment & reduced movement joints between units.
Smooth mould finish Type A to precast element, defined in British Standards.
Number of minutes precast element would provide fire resistance.
Minimum cover to steel reinforcement in precast element, measured in mm.
Typical manufacturing tolerances & dimensional variations +/- in mm.
A reinforced concrete (RC) foundation is required for installation.
Double Load - Precast element is suitable for retaining material on both faces.
