Vertical Opportunity with Creative Structural Integrity

The Betoconcept range of earth retaining walls from Grass Concrete Ltd combine both structure and aesthetics.
This hospital re-development featured a number Betoconcept earth retaining walls. 


One was a challenging construction, requiring a 4-metre-high wall, which had to work around contiguous concrete piles and incorporate a footbridge link to the main building. With a limited width available, the piles were clad vertically with stone finish Leromur blocks which transitioned into an inclined planted Betoatlas structure.

Althon manufacture the largest range of precast concrete headwalls in the UK for pipes, culverts and box culverts. 15 years ago we have launched our first headwall brochure with a range of 40 different headwalls. Today we have over 500 different headwalls!

Precast headwalls are an important part of most SUDS drainage schemes, preventing erosion at the point of discharge into watercourses such as attenuation ponds, detention basins, rivers, ditches and swales. Balancing ponds or attenuation ponds are a vital flood prevention method. You will often see these attenuation ponds complete with headwalls, on new construction projects such as housing estates, new roadways etc. The purpose of them is during heavy or prolonged wet weather the drainage system on new construction projects can be overwhelmed due to the sheer amount of excess water being discharged. The attenuation pond is designed to control the amount of excess water entering the drainage system to reduce the likelihood of flooding.

Our headwall ranges include Anglian Water approved headwalls, Severn Trent water specification for rectangular precast outfalls, Sewerage sector guidance compliant headwalls, angled headwalls and many more.

We are also able to factory fit a range of accessories to our headwalls making installation much faster and safer. Some of these accessories include flap valves, tideflex valves, kee klamp handrails, stepped baffle blocks, gratings, pond liner brackets and the list goes on.

Whether you already know the type of headwall you require or need some assistance in choosing the correct design our team is always happy to assist you.

Railtex 160920 EWR Redirock 04CPM’s Redi-Rock™ modular concrete walling will be on show at Britain’s leading showcase for railway products and services in May at the Railtex exhibition in Birmingham.

The Redi-Rock™ walling is ideal for protecting the rail line against erosion, landslips and rock falls, as the big block solution is both quick and easy to install when you have limited ‘track time’ available or are working within night-time possessions.

Railtex image 1With less disruption to services through quick and economical installation in any weather, the Redi-Rock™ blocks have the look of natural stone and are available in three different faces, (Cobblestone, Ledgestone and Limestone) so can blend in with the natural environment and are versatile enough to achieve height without compromising strength.

 

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAEach modular block weighs approximately one tonne and is dry laid, so walls can be built in a fraction of the time and costs compared to other methods, a real benefit when closing the rail network for trackside maintenance and improvements.

With its strength and earth retaining capabilities Redi-Rock™ modular walling keeps both the train and track safe whilst offering a pleasant viewing and safe experience for rail passengers, making it an obvious choice for the rail industry.
