Reinforced Retaining Walls
A reinforced retaining wall is a structure that has been designed and constructed to resist lateral pressure of soil, especially when there is a desired change in ground elevation.
Why Choose the PC System Reinforced Retaining Wall?
A new way to construct MSE walls, The Positive Connection (PC) System has started a revolution by only requiring two components: the block and the geogrid. The PC System simplifies the construction sequences and provides a rock-solid connection that stops future corrosion – all you have to do is simply thread the grid through the slot in the blocks.
These Redi-Rock® blocks are made of architectural grade precast concrete. They are cast in molds taken from real natural stone. This makes them beautiful to look at and feature the look of natural stone.
Redi-Rock® PC System Features
Handles extreme live loads
Maximizes height, minimizes grid
Offers superior seismic performance
M.O.T. compliant
We can provide our expertise to assist you with designing and installing the best reinforced wall for your project. By pouring, vibrating, and curing all Redi-Rock® blocks in a controlled factory environment, we can ensure that we are providing the highest quality precast concrete products available. All of our Redi-Rock® reinforced walls can also be placed by our highly trained crane operators.
How do Reinforced Blocks Work?
After rigorous testing and a comprehensive engineering analysis, the PC System has been proved to be an economical and aesthetic structural solutions for reinforced retaining walls. These reinforced blocks are great for a wide range of applications including roadways, bridge and harbour projects, railroads, etc.
Redi-Rock® reinforced blocks have a vertical core slot that is cast through the centre of each block. This allows a 12-inch wide strip of geogrid to be threaded to eliminate the need for special connection pieces. The patent-pending smooth edge technology provides extremely high connection strengths with the geogrid reinforcement. The PC System can easily be designed to meet M.O.T. design standards and they offer the incomparable durability of ‘wet-cast’ –air-entrained concrete.
Technical Resources
One of the most important steps in installing a reinforced wall is the planning phase. During this phase, our team can assist to make sure that the wall is not only able to hold up the required load but is also durable enough to withstand years of wear and tear.
