Services
Gravity Retaining Walls
Our gravity retaining walls use massive concrete blocks (24-84 inch depths) for structural stability without steel reinforcement. These systems rely on block mass and setback for soil retention in transportation and commercial projects. Customizable textures and finishes allow integration with surrounding environments while maintaining durability against freeze-thaw cycles and chemical exposure.
Reinforced Retaining Walls
Engineered systems combining concrete blocks with geogrid reinforcement for heights exceeding 40 feet. This solution optimizes space in urban developments while maintaining structural integrity. Blocks interlock with backfill material to create composite strength for heavy load applications in infrastructure projects and site developments.
Freestanding Wall Systems
Non-load bearing structures for pedestrian barriers or aesthetic screening. Blocks feature dual-faced textures for visibility from both sides. Installable on grade or atop retaining walls with flexible grading options. Available in multiple configurations for architectural continuity with primary wall systems.
Custom Block Solutions
Over 15 standard block types with dimensional options (24-132 inch depths) and five texture choices. Custom shapes developed for specific project needs maintain structural performance while achieving design objectives. Available in standard and modified dimensions to meet site-specific engineering requirements.
Design Support Services
Comprehensive resources including proprietary wall analysis software, 3D block catalogs, and construction manuals. Technical support for engineers, architects, and installers includes design validation and installation guidance. Over 400 North American engineers utilize our specialized software for project planning and execution.
