PRECAST CONCRETE RETAINING WALL
A Hollow Core Slab retaining wall is designed and constructed to resist lateral soil pressures when the desired change in ground elevation exceeds the soil’s angle of repose.

Benefits
Reduced Site Impact
Precast HCS retaining walls are manufactured off-site and delivered on demand, significantly reducing truck traffic, dust, noise, and debris from formwork associated with cast-in-place products.
Durability
Concrete is strong and durable, offering a sustainable solution that will not rust or burn and has a service life exceeding 100 years.
Better Quality
Manufactured in a controlled plant environment, eliminating site-related errors like temperature changes, poor curing, or inconsistent material quality.
Quick and Easy Installation
Precast retaining walls are cast in the factory, requiring no formwork at the site — they can be directly erected onto the tongue while installing.
Low Material Usage
The presence of longitudinal voids in the HCS cross-section leads to reduced raw material usage, making it cost-effective and efficient.
