Concrete: Aggregate, cement powder and water designed for the engineered mix desired.

Using a strong structural foothold, these walls sustain pressure and transform the horizontal pressure to the perpendicularly vertical one. Precast concrete or masonry reinforced with steel are generally employed to construct Cantilevered concrete retaining wall block. The AFTEC steel-reinforced Precast Concrete Retaining Walls in Newark NJ, are usually three to eight long that withstand the soil pressure at all times. Regardless of the technique adopted, the most critical aspect of retaining walls is the apt design, finishing, and installation. Manufactured from steel, vinyl, fiberglass, plastic planks or wooden planks, sheet piled walls must be hammered at least two-thirds the elevation of the wall into the ground. The sheet piled retaining walls is the most suitable option for soft soils and notably compact areas. They are also frequently strengthened with steel to increase the lifespan of the retaining wall. Brick masonry concrete retaining walls use standard 8” x 4” x 2.25” size kiln-fired bricks and mortar.

Masonry retaining walls indicate that masonry units (CMU block walls) are employed to construct the retaining wall.

These walls are built higher and harder by incorporating support, reinforcement, and rigid-footing techniques. These walls utilize the concrete wall weight to withstand pressure from the opposite side. Gravity concrete retaining walls are constructed using large boulders or blocks of precast concrete. Keeping in view the current growing needs and trends, our engineers have been designing Precast Concrete Retaining Walls in Newark, Jersey City, and other areas of New Jersey as of now. We also build a precast fence or a barrier wall on top where required. Large Concrete Retaining Wall Blocks by the AFTEC are customarily used to retain small to medium elevations of soil ranging up to 12 ft., from one level to another. Concrete Retaining Wall BlocksĪFTEC practices and specializes in the construction of large precast retaining walls with architectural patterns on the observable surface. Several types of concrete retaining walls -gravity, sheet piled, and cantilever, have been constructed by AFTEC, all of which vary in the diversity of surface textures. A retaining wall provides the architectural support to hold the lateral pressure of the Earth. They are a perfect solution to keep the erosion in check or to level a patio area. Contact us today for a project proposal.Landscape retaining walls are made up of large retaining wall blocks designed to provide lateral support to upright slopes of soil. Stone Strong is a retaining wall system designed for civil contractors and high production installations. Locally, we have seen examples of walls greater than 4m constructed as gravity walls. With this big block system, it is possible to construct higher gravity walls without the requirement for geogrid. The hollow block design is backfilled with drain rock which provides the necessary drainage and interconnects the blocks together. The standard Stone Strong block is 2.44m (8-feet) long x 0.914m (3-feet) high x 1.1m (~4-feet) deep and weighs 2,720kg (6,000lbs).

Stone Strong Systems offer intelligently engineered retaining wall solutions that allow for quicker and easier installation which reduces labour and equipment costs. When it comes to pre-cast segmental retaining wall blocks, Stone Strong has made a name for itself as being the largest commercially available, architectural block on the market. Langley Concrete has been a proud manufacturer of Stone Strong products since 2016.
