Anchor® Diamond® Walling - Retaining wall system
Verified by manufacturer 8 months ago
A mortarless dry build segmental retaining wall system consisting of self-finished concrete blocks with the appearance of riven faced stone for landscape retaining walls.
Application
Used to create retaining walls where there are no slopes above or below the wall and no surcharge.
Description
A dry build retaining wall system designed to be constructed without mortar or pins up to 1.2 m high (Diamond 30).
The blocks incorporate a patented rear lip which automatically provides a uniform setback (10.6° face batter) and perfect alignment, thus speeding installation.
The system is flexible enough to shift and expand with ground movements around the blocks and can be laid to internal or external radius.
Minimum radius:
- Outside curve (to back of block on top course): Diamond 30: 0.9 m.
- Inside curve (to back of block on base course): Diamond 30: 2.7 m.
Please consult AG technical literature for further details.
