Redi-Rock For Rail - Modular wall

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. 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.
