Vertical cantilever retaining wall panels, are a versatile product which can be used to store and retain a wide variety of materials. When installing the concrete panels vertically, they are place onto cradles and temporary propped. Reinforcement bars are inserted through precast holes in the bottom of the panel, which are then tied to the foundation reinforcement. Once the concrete has been poured and is of sufficient strength to support the panel, the props can be removed.
No additional support is required, making them the perfect solution if you have no existing steelwork to fix to or for applications where steels would be exposed to fire or aggressive liquids. Vertical joints between the precast elements can be sealed, enabling these products to be used for the storage of liquids. Concrete panels 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 concrete panels. 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 vertical cantilever retaining wall panels, these will vary depending on, the panel thickness, panel length & 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 interlock with tongue and groove edges.
Edge Detail
Chamfered edges create softer sight lines & reduce damage during installation.
