Retaining Walls for Universities and Campuses

Leveling hilly terrain, creating space for a growing campus, making room for more parking, providing access to a new sports stadium...these are just a few of the many reasons Redi-Rock has been used on universities and campuses across North America and beyond.

Why Choose Redi-Rock for Your Campus Retaining Wall Project?

Because Redi-Rock walls can be built with minimal space requirements, are easy to install, and look great. They are the ideal solution to some of the various challenges faced by designers of campus and university improvements. The Redi-Rock retaining wall system uses massive one ton blocks made of 4,000 PSI (27.6MPa) concrete, so they’re made to last. Plus, they come in many great textures, adding beauty to your school.

Optimize Your Design for University and Campus Applications

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.
