The Andacrib modular pre-cast concrete crib retaining wall system is designed to cater for the most onerous loading conditions demanded of structures in highway, industrial and commercial sectors.

The system's unique design, incorporating generous header to header bearing surfaces, ensures that all primary loads are remote from the exposed face. The design also allows the various header lengths to be mixed within the same structure for maximum economy whilst maintaining a consistent visual appearance.

Andacrib header units can be linked into double or triple skin walls, whilst internal and external curves can be formed. The Andacrib system has seen the addition of a new larger header for use on higher retaining walls. This will reduce the need to double stack walls for retained heights of 6.0m and over. It will mean less components, so will also reduce the amount of concrete used and make the system both more sustainable and economic.

Andacrib concrete components conform with Class 2 Sulphate Resistance and ‘very severe' salt attack conditions as required by both BS 8110 and BS 5400. The concrete has a design strength of 50 N/mm². Andacrib headers and stretchers are steel reinforced and fully comply with the requirements of BS 8110.

A completed Andacrib wall provides a substantial, maintenance-free structure with a design life in excess of 120 years. The system's design meets Highway Agency requirements.

The Andacrib concrete cribretaining wall has been given CE marking, assuring clients of manufacture to the latest design and quality assurance standards. Clients such as Highways England recognise the CE mark as a positive indicator that your product conforms to the latest standards.
