Gravity Retaining Walls
Gravity walls depend on their mass (stone, concrete, or other heavy material) to help resist pressure from behind and improve stability by leaning back toward the retained soil.
Folding boom cranes are often referred to as knuckle boom cranes because their shape often resembles a knuckle when folding. Because of this knuckle shape and design, these types of cranes have the ability to maneuver in and out of tighter spaces with more flexibility.
What is a Gravity Wall System?
A Redi-Rock® gravity wall can be built in less space than a small block wall, and requires no geogrid reinforcement. This means that gravity walls are an ideal solution for projects that need to be built close to already existing structures.
Redi-Rock® Gravity Wall Features
Minimize right-of-way requirements
Add parking
Protect shorelines
Build a wall quickly
Require less space
Build in front of a failing wall
Solution for any environment
Since Redi-Rock® gravity blocks use the weight of the blocks to hold back the earth, making sure that the blocks are properly designed and installed will ensure that the wall lasts well into the future. Our expert team will assist you to make sure that each block used in your gravity wall can properly withstand the weight of the earth and that each block is installed to the highest industry standards.
Why Use Redi-Rock®?
Cast in molds that were made using actual stone, Redi-Rock® blocks feature the look of natural stone. This gives each gravity block a very detailed and natural texture. The Redi-Rock® blocks are made of architectural grade precast concrete, so this gives your reinforced retaining walls a beautiful, natural stone look. The patented knob and groove design of these large blocks align perfectly – similar to building a Lego wall. Installation is fast and easy, and creating inside or outside curves is simple due to its trapezoidal shape.
Did you know that Redi-Rock® blocks perform extremely well in water applications? This is due to the architectural grade precast concrete, massive block sizes, and rigorous engineering combined to create a formidable solution for any shoreline, storm channel, or retention pond.
Technical Resources
When it comes to installing a gravity wall, having an experienced team plan out and complete the installation process can mean the difference between a wall that stands the test of time and one that fails in the near future. Our team is highly trained and experienced and can assist in designing and placing all kinds of gravity walls, so you can rest assured that the work will be completed properly the first time around.
