Retaining Walls for Government Municipalities

As a civil or municipal engineer, it's up to you to design retaining walls for community infrastructure projects that will stand the test of time, and that will also make your community look great. With superior aesthetics and proven engineering, it's easy to see why municipal engineers around the world have used Redi-Rock.

How Can Redi-Rock Help Municipalities?

The Redi-Rock retaining wall system uses massive, one-ton precast blocks that stack together like giant Legos. It installs quickly and easily, allowing many cities and counties to use their own construction crews to install Redi-Rock walls. And with a variety of beautiful face textures to choose from that feature the look of natural stone, designers can select the option that looks best in their area to create a consistent, timeless look throughout each project.

Municipal governments around the world have used Redi-Rock to:

  • Support local roadways
  • Create space for bike paths
  • Construct outdoor stages, amphitheaters and athletic fields
  • Protect against flooding and shoreline erosion
  • Build good-looking retention or detention ponds
  • Provide access to local park and trail systems

Why Choose Redi-Rock for City Retaining Walls?

City and county engineers use Redi-Rock to provide a great looking solution for local infrastructure projects. Watch this video for a great example of how engineers for the City of Lacy, Washington, designed a beautiful retaining wall to minimize right-of-way-requirements on a local roadway in this suburban community.

Optimize Your Design for Parks and Municipalities

Gravity Walls

In many scenarios, tall gravity walls can be used to simplify rail projects. With no need for tiebacks, the massive PMBs stack up like giant Lego blocks to hold back the earth with their mass. The patented knob and groove technology provides a strong sheer interface connection, as well as makes the proper setback angle easy to achieve. With the easy installation sequence, track closures and downtime can be kept to a minimum!

Reinforced Walls

Reinforced walls designed with Positive Connection (PC) blocks can meet the most demanding structural needs of rail projects, including meeting AASHTO LRFD and AREMA specifications. Strips of geogrid wrap through a core slot cast into the block creating a weight independent connection. Not only can these MSE walls support heavy live loads and reach extreme heights, there’s also no need to worry about metal fasteners or reinforcement interacting with stray electrical current.

Freestanding Walls

Redi-Rock Freestanding blocks can create parapet, barrier or force protection options to provide top of wall safety functionality. With texture on two sides, freestanding blocks can be used to create a stand-alone wall or be used with other wall types to complete the integrated wall solutions.

Hybrid Walls

Hybrid solutions are an option with the Redi-Rock system because all wall types can be combined to create integrated wall solutions. Whatever the engineering demands are behind the wall, the face of the wall presents a cohesive solution. Mix and match the wall types you need to get the engineered result you’re after for your next rail project.
