Precast Concrete Retaining Walls
We are proud to offer the largest range of precast concrete retaining walls available in the UK. In the product boxes above, we have highlighted the specific characteristics and features of each precast solution to assist with product selection.
You can view each of the products in more detail on the product pages, including our unique 3D interactive viewers.
If our standard range is not entirely suited to your project or you have specific design criteria that need to be fulfilled, we are happy to discuss bespoke precast concrete retaining walls with you.
Precast Retaining Wall Design
Within the retaining wall range, we have products that are capable of taking surcharges of up to 25kN/m2 and/or 100-year design life.
Our precast retaining walls can be used for any situation or application for retaining material and have been designed to relevant British & Euro standards.
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:
- CAD Drawings
- Technical Data Sheets
- Structural Calculations
It is always advisable to have any retaining wall design checked by a qualified engineer. We can also provide a retaining wall design service if you do not have an appointed engineer for your project.
BIM & Digital Construction
We have experience with the design, manufacture and installation of bespoke precast retaining wall systems to BIM Level 2 standard. Our Building Information Modelling services include:
- Autodesk Revit & .ifc BIM object models
- COBie (Construction Operations Building Information Exchange) – Asset information
- Bespoke retaining wall design and modelling
- Reinforcement schedules & Tekla Structures 3D Models
- Clash detection for foundation reinforcement
Types of Precast Retaining Wall
The retaining wall heights start at 500mm and go up to 6m. Unit lengths vary depending on the product range, please see the individual product pages for more information.
The L-shape, cantilever retaining walls are the most popular in the range. They are often used as a more cost and time-effective substitute to in-situ designed retaining walls.
The L shape walling is available in a wide range of sizes and with a variety of fixing details. For all of these units, we have corner units available for creating storage bays.
Decorative & Architectural Finishes
If your retaining wall requires a more aesthetical or decorative appearance, the modular precast concrete retaining walls, have the option of adding a decorative RECKLI pattern to the external face of the wall.
The modular retaining walls are also manufactured with tongue and groove interlocking system and chamfered edges. The units can also be painted with masonry paint once installed, to achieve a contemporary look.
We also have a hybrid gabion stone-box system, which can be fixed to the retaining wall once installed and then filled with the stone of your choice. Other customisations such as handrail fixings and sloping top walls can also be provided.
Additional Retaining Wall Systems
In addition to the L, T & U profiles in our retaining wall range, we also supply interlocking concrete blocks and prestressed concrete panels. The concrete panels can be used horizontally, between steels or as a vertical cantilever retaining wall by casting into a reinforced concrete foundation.
If you are not sure which retaining wall would best suit your project, please speak to our product experts, who will be able to advise on the most cost-effective product.
