Verti-Block Retaining Walls

RIGHT LOOK. RIGHT STRENGTH. RIGHT SIZE.

Verti-Block™ was created with landscaping in mind — we’ve made it easy to transport and install, there’s no need for heavy machines like a telehandler or crane. The male and female connection eliminates placement error, ensuring strength and an exact installation every time. Also, the engineered hollow cavities allow for more flexibility with drainage and less concrete required for each block which will save time and money.

Soldier Pile / Lagging Panel Retaining Walls

Limited space…We have a solution

Soldier Pile & Lagging Panel Retaining Walls – A great option for retaining walls with a limited project footprint. Retaining walls greater than 3m in height typically require reinforcement which makes this type of wall a great option. Instead of using a structural reinforcement back into the retained soil, the structural strength of this type of design comes from the precast panel bearing on the flange of the HSS beam. The steel or concrete beams can be left exposed or can be covered with a precast fascia for a cleaner look. The same can be done for the top of the wall, as we can incorporate precast coping for a smooth transition between wall panels.
