Gravity Walls
MagnumStone® Gravity Retaining Wall Extenders replace Geogrid reinforcements by using a tongue-and-groove concrete system that meets or exceeds the demands of engineers. This system reduces the massive footprints demanded by cantilevered traditional gravity retaining walls and gives developers and owners greater use of land above the wall.
Geogrid Walls
Geogrids are used to reinforce the soil mass behind the MagnumStone® units to create tall retaining wall systems. Wall structures that may require geogrid reinforcement to resist the increased pressures behind the wall include parking lots, roadways, water applications or positive slopes abovell.
Terraces with Planters
The MagnumStone® retaining wall provides a large vertical and horizontal hollow core. The light weight and large size units allow wall designers the flexibility of creating many solutions without environmentally costly side-effects. The hollow core provides a plantable retaining wall pocket within the retaining wall system.
Water applications
The hollow core allows for vertical internal drainage, minimizing the effects of hydrostatic pressures behind the wall. Wet-cast MagnumStone® units provides a durable, 4000 psi (27.5 MPa) concrete that is resistant to freeze-thaw degradation in areas of repeated freezing and thawing in saturated conditions.
