MacWall® segmental retaining wall system is available in a range of colours
MacWall® combines the aesthetics of masonry walls with the engineered reassurance of reinforced earth. Segmental block retaining walls (SRWs) are increasing in popularity due to their ease of construction, cost-effectiveness and versatility.
The two components of the MacWall® system are:
Split-face concrete modular block in a range of colours to suit adjacent structures and environments.
Reinforcement Paragrid® geogrids are sandwiched between the courses of the block.
Paragrid® geogrids are placed horizontally within the structural backfill to the wall, providing tensile strength and reinforcing the soil mass. The grids also tie the fascia blocks to the reinforced soil.
A range of block types to suit most requirements is available with slope face angles from 2° to 11°.
Vertica block type is available with a BBA-certified mix, if required by the project.
MacWall® easily incorporates curves, corners and steps and, being dry-built (without mortar), it is simple and rapid to construct in all climates.
