Description

The BBA approved Redi-Rock™ modular wall system is an ingenious, space saving solution for the retention of earth for a wide range of retaining, force protection, landscaping and flood protection applications. The ‘big block system’ has the appearance of natural stone and is versatile enough to achieve height without compromising on strength. Each one tonne block (1040 series) interlocks with the next and is dry laid, resulting in extremely fast installation times and cost saving.


The modular walling precast products are made from durable, wet-cast concrete. Often referred to as one-tonne Lego® blocks, Redi-Rock™ blocks are big enough that they can be simply stacked on top of each other to construct a gravity wall.


The wall is manufactured using over 25% of PFA materials to provide a sustainable solution for a wide variety of applications. Walls can be dismantled and relocated so if the project changes, the wall can be disassembled and relocated – a sustainable solution with minimal maintenance required.


The modular walling solution has BBA approval, UKCA Approved, from the Highway Authorities Product Approval Scheme (HAPAS) and is British Kitemarked by PAS 68 certification.


For even taller and/or more heavily loaded retaining walls, the Redi-Rock™ Positive Connection (PC) system can be used to construct a mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall. However, it is much more than simply large retaining wall blocks. The freestanding blocks have the same great look as the retaining blocks, with texture on two or more sides. These freestanding blocks are perfect for perimeter walls, entrance monuments, or parapet walls.


Accessory products available include steps, benches and capping blocks/coping stones.


Features and benefits:

  • Large interlocking blocks that are dry laid and can be built in any weather resulting in very fast construction.
  • Standard blocks are delivered ready to use, resulting in little or no waste.
  • Redi-Rock is manufactured using over 25% of PFA materials to provide a sustainable solution for a wide variety of applications.
  • Factory produced quality product available in three natural looking, aesthetically pleasing finishes with built in engineered strength.
  • Varied designs are achieved using standard blocks resulting in space saving fast building solutions.
  • Durability of wet cast concrete with a 120 year design life.
  • Concrete: 40 N/mm² at 28 days.


Redi-Rock™ hostile vehicle mitigation walling (Vehicle Security Barriers – VSB) is an effective, re-usable solution to perimeter hostile vehicle attack. Ideal for utility and critical infrastructure, buildings of high importance, military facilities, crowded places, civil/nuclear installations and transport hubs.


The Redi-Rock™ Force Protection system has been successfully tested by the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) using the BSI specification PAS 68:2007, and achieved a classification of V/7500[N2]/48/90:1.6/0.0.


No ground anchor - uses its own weight. Integral cable dissipates kinetic energy. Proven to stop a 7.5 tonne truck at 48 km/h (30 mph). Aesthetically pleasing, with the look of natural stone.

Finish

-

Exposed faces

Cobblestone.

Guidance for specification option:

The Cobblestone Redi-Rock™ block offers you a chiselled cobblestone texture that has the appearance of six small blocks and gives the wall a more natural uniformed look.

Limestone.

Guidance for specification option:

The Limestone Redi-Rock™ block has a quarried face that looks great on large scale projects. The one-tonne textured blocks offers walls an impressive finished appearance.

Ledgestone.

Guidance for specification option:

The Ledgestone Redi-Rock™ block offers you a deep, random textured wall, which blends in beautifully with natural stone. The individual blocks are nearly indistinguishable and therefore gives the impression of a natural, random stone wall.
