| VERSA-LOK solid retaining wall units are
made from high-strength, low-absorption concrete to create
a consistently durable product that exceeds industry
standards. Solid characteristics provide superior
resistance to damage before, during, and after
construction in all climates.
VERSA-LOK solid units are integrally colored and may be
easily modified to create an unlimited variety of design
elements. Walls display a natural split-face texture to
complement any environment and because they are made of
concrete, are environmentally safe.
On many projects, VERSA-LOK retaining walls work purely
as gravity systems--where unit weight alone provides
resistance to earth pressures. Maximum allowable wall
height for gravity walls varies with soil and loading
conditions. Generally, with level backfill and no
excessive loading. VERSA-LOK gravity walls may be built to
heights of 4 feet.
When weight of unites alone is not enough to resist
soil loads, horizontal layers of geosynthetics are used to
reinforce soil behind walls. With proper soil
reinforcement and design, VERSA-LOK walls can be
constructed to heights in excess of 40 feet.
The trapezoidal shape of the VERSA-LOK unit permits
construction of concave and convex and concave curves. An
unlimited variety of inside corners, and steps may also be
created using the VERSA-LOK standard unit. Because
standard units are used for all design elements it is not
necessary to order or estimate special pieces.
