Retaining Walls

Masonry and Slate provide a wide range of retaining wall systems in a variety of designs and colours from manufacturers from within Australia.

Tasman

 

The Tasman retaining wall system incorporates purpose made corner and capping units to provide classical reconstructed sandstone retaining walls. The unique design of the Tasman wall system allows increased flexibility over competing products. The Tasman walls can be built almost vertical. Each block has only a 10mm setback, which allows all available space to be utilized to the maximum. Curved or straight walls can be erected and it is easy to build 90-degree corners with the purpose made corner blocks. A capping unit is adhered to the top course of blocks to finish off the wall. Tasman blocks are suitable for retaining walls up to 6 metres high. The blocks are easily dry-stacked and their patented design locks into the block above to form an attractive structural retaining wall. For walls over 1 metre high, FORTRAC geogrids are locked in every 3rd course of blocks to create a reinforced soil retaining wall structure. Design To comply with most council requirements, please seek specific engineering advice for walls over 1 metre high or for low walls carrying car traffic, etc. We can offer a wide range of colours to suit your project. The Tasman is manufactured with a water repellent admixture to add to its quality.
