Redi-Rock® Wall Types

Gravity Wall

Gravity retaining walls are the most common type of wall. This structure heavily depends on the stone you are using and how heavy it is. A gravity model uses the mass of the stone retaining wall to resist pressure from the soil to ensure the soil stays in place. Simplicity is the core strength of a gravity wall, as it simply uses weight to leverage the soil. As this type of wall requires no geogrid reinforcement, it is a great solution for walls that need to be built next to existing structures.

Retaining walls

Ideal for residential landscaping, parks and historic sites, Redi-Rock® freestanding walls are made from precast concrete blocks, featuring the beautiful and natural texture of real stone.

Cantilever retaining wall

Cantilever walls are made from concrete and constructed in an L shape. The concrete is made to go under the soil, which is referred to as the “heel”. The weight of the soil holds the concrete structure, reinforcing its ability to hold the soil behind it. Like buttressed retaining walls and counterfort retaining walls, which include extra portions of concrete added to the bottom of the structure to provide heightened strength towards holding the soil.

Hybrid wall

The Redi-Rock® system allows all of the precast concrete elements to work together. When site scenarios demand different engineering behind the wall, a hybrid solution presents a seamless solution on the front of the wall. Engineers and mix and match blocks combining gravity, reinforced or freestanding to create on wall solution.  Or there may be a requirement to combine modular blocks with cast-in-place concrete. Hybrid walls provide design versatility.

Ease of installation

Redi-Rock® freestanding walls install with the same ease you find with Redi-Rock retaining walls—just use an excavator to stack the blocks on top of each other, like Lego blocks for giants!

Redi-Rock has done multiple studies and found that a crew new to using the product can install ~ 150 blocks in a full work day using one excavator and one to two men on the ground to help set blocks in place. This number jumps to a range of 200 – 225 blocks per day with a well experienced crew. At 225 blocks per day crews can install 1,290 sq feet of wall per day.  On the surface some products appear to have a lower unit price but with labour and productivity factored in the Redi-Rock® solution often becomes the least expensive and highest value retaining wall product on todays market.
