Using Retaining Walls

A retaining wall is typically an engineered structure that effectively holds earth in the form of a wall, with varying degrees of setback or batter. These types of structures have been used for thousands of years including by the Mayans, Egyptians, and others, originally using layers of organic materials. Examples of ancient retaining walls include the Great Wall of China, the Sphinx, and Mayan temples. Modern applications typically will expand land usage or development square footage in areas where a slope prevents adequate usability. Other less common uses include water retention walls, erosion control and decorative landscape features.

Using Concrete Blocks in Retaining Walls

Favored for its strength and durability, concrete has been used for centuries, including by the Romans, and is still widely used today. Concrete structures have been known to last for hundreds of years, and if engineered properly, concrete block walls can last a lifetime. More recently, interlocking concrete block retaining walls began rising in popularity as they are known to perform much better than alternative building materials such as wood, which will rot and is often carcinogenic if pressure treated, and natural rock, which is difficult to source, engineer, and build.

TYPES OF RETAINING WALL BLOCKS

Using MaxumStone for Concrete Block Walls

MaxumStone concrete retaining walls are a fully designed, engineered, tested and proven system. Our retaining blocks are wet cast, which provides stronger durability than dry-cast machine-made options, plus they’re hollow-core, which allows for superior drainage, lighter weight, and lower shipping and raw material costs. These large concrete blocks are ideal for a wide variety of commercial, industrial and large-scale retaining wall applications. MaxumStone’s comprehensive solution makes the permit process a breeze by providing all of the required testing data and specs for engineers, greatly minimizing potential delays.

Do any depth infinitely in 2-foot increments

With the concrete extenders you can increase or decrease the wall depth in 2-foot (0.61 meter) increments, so you’re not limited to a small, medium and large block. With other systems – once they get to their large block, they’re done. They have to pour concrete in the field to extend the depth of it. With MaxumStone, we can go from 2 to 4 to 6 to 8 to 10 to 12 feet. We can do any depth infinitely in 2-foot (0.61 meter) increments. We can easily increase the depth in 2-foot increments, and conversely we can decrease the depth of the wall as you get higher up in the wall. Contractors love that kind of flexibility, given the “unknowns” that often occur when installation starts on a project. The fact that the system is all-inclusive is also a big plus.
