QA Certificate
Certificate type
A mortarless dry build segmental retaining wall system consisting of self-finished concrete blocks with the appearance of riven faced stone.
Application
- Suitable for most applications from low height residential landscaping to tall commercial retaining walls.
- Designed for steep, sloping hillsides and other traditionally difficult installation areas.
Description
A dry build segmental retaining wall system which allows fast track construction in all weathers. The blocks are traditionally landscape orientated with a surface finish that gives the appearance of riven faced dressed stone.
Features and benefits:
- A locating lug on the top of each block automatically provides a uniform setback (4° face batter) and perfect alignment.
- Available in two finishes – Straight or StoneCut.
- A double-sided block enables a vertical wall to be constructed without mortar with the same textured finish on both sides.
- Also available for machine installation.
Geogrid reinforcement is required for engineered walls over 1.0 m high. Please consult AG technical literature for further details.
