Retaining Walls

As the world’s focus shifts to global well-being and sustainable development, Plantable retaining walls bring an environmentally friendly, engineered solution to life. Plantable walls house and grow shrubs, greenery, small trees and flowers directly within the hollow core blocks which can function as planter pockets to increase green space.

Cantilever retaining walls use concrete footings, also known as base slabs, beneath large retaining wall blocks, which are reinforced with steel rebar and concrete filling. The concrete footing extends at the toe and heel of the retaining wall, with the heel stretching under the approved backfill material being retained. Cantilever retaining wall designs enable the wall to withstand major lateral forces and earth pressures.

A gravity retaining wall exclusively uses the mass of its large interlocking concrete blocks to effectively retain soil loads from above and behind the wall. Gravity retaining walls’ long-lasting and exceptional strength protects and optimizes functional property space. The mass of MagnumStone’s big blocks hold back earth and control erosion with dynamic, world-class retaining wall solutions.

Positive Connection retaining walls are built to enhance long-lasting geogrid soil reinforcement through greater connection strength with advanced engineering designs. This is done by wrapping the approved, specified geogrid underneath the backfill, through the hollow core of the blocks and back over the compacted backfill again with one continuous strip of geogrid.
