SoluForm concrete filled bagwork can be used to construct and repair retaining walls.

SoluForm's adaptable concrete bags can be installed in areas with limited space for machinery such as canal paths or rivers in difficult to access locations.

Biodegradable potato starch liner means they have less impact on local ecology than other comparable products.

Bags are 20kg and can be handled by a single person,allowing the construction of retaining walls to be completed by a small flexible team.

Retaining walls can be constructed in rivers and canals without the need to dewater an area, as the liner of underwater bags ensures there is no loss of cement fines from the bag.

SoluForm provide ancillary steelwork, to strengthen the blockwork, and to secure underwater bags.
