Overview

The next big thing in the world of dry-stack retaining walls, our Verticascade retaining wall system pushes the limits of conventional retaining wall technology, forging new standards in the process.

Our Verticascade retaining wall system allows the creation of walls at heights previously unheard of, without compromising in the slightest on form and function. As with dry-stack walls, Verticascade requires minimal usage of concrete, furthering the appeal of such a system in any project.

Verticascade provides a compact, cost-effective dry-stack retaining wall system for heavy duty and ultra heavy duty applications, whilst retaining a visually appealing design that adds layers of design depth to any project, big or small.

Normally paired with our Foundation Blocks, Verticascade offers our clients a true tried-and-tested retaining wall system designed to weather any and all challenges thrown at it.

Whilst being as robust and as strong as a conventional retaining wall, Verticascade offers a 'two-faced' block design, allowing for clients to create various designs during the installation of a wall.

While not as flexible as our Cascade offering, Verticascade can be made to take turns, ensuring continuous strength throughout a wall install.

Depending on construction and design requirements, concrete may be needed in the foundation of any specific wall. This may include the use of steel as reinforcement.

Verticascade is designed to be installed using a step-back angle, depending on design requirements. A step-back angle is required to ensure structural integrity whilst still promoting the block's functionality and form.

Heights over 1 meter need to be engineered professionally to suit the application required.

For light to medium duty retaining applications, we recommend our Cascade dry-stack retaining wall system.
