Water Applications
Redi-Rock is a proven, precast modular block retaining wall system, created by engineers, for engineers. The Redi-Rock retaining wall system uses massive one ton blocks made of 4,000 PSI (27.6MPa) concrete. These walls are known to perform against freeze thaw cycles, marine environments, and record-setting storms. From flood walls to seawalls, Redi-Rock can help.
Channel Walls Protect Neighborhood from Flooding
When a sharp turn in a stream began eroding homeowners' yards in storm events, the city of Florence, Kentucky, needed a solution, and fast. "The ability to construct the wall without geogrid reinforcement was critically important to this project," explained Justin M. Verst, P.E. with Viox & Viox. "The construction space was tight."
