A smarter engineered gravity retaining wall system that holds up under pressure.
The Retain-a-Rock (RAR) system is a true gravity segmental earth retaining wall system. Utilizing the strength of concrete, our large modular blocks are designed with a unique hollow core, allowing for gravel infill as a free-draining block.
The interlocking connections between blocks also means that in most cases there is no need for integrated mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) geogrid tie backs for walls up to 12 feet (3.66m).
Applications
- Bridge Abutments & Wingwalls
- Culverts
- Roadway Expansions
- Erosion Control / Shoreline Protection
- Waste Transfer Stations or Other Industrial Sites
- Residential or Commercial Developments
- Temporary Shoring
