Freestanding Block FAQs
What is a “parapet”?
A parapet, sometimes called a barrier wall, is a protective structure built along the top of a retaining wall or bridge. It helps improve safety by separating vehicles, pedestrians, and adjacent areas from potential hazards. In transportation applications, parapets serve a role similar to guardrails, helping guide traffic and enhance roadway safety.
Do Freestanding Blocks require mortar?
No. Redi-Rock Freestanding Blocks are designed for efficient installation and long-term performance without mortar, helping reduce construction time and labor requirements.
Can Freestanding Blocks be used for curved walls?
Yes. Depending on wall layout and block configuration, the system can accommodate a variety of curves, corners, and other design features to match project requirements.
What equipment is needed to install Freestanding Blocks?
Installation typically requires an excavator, loader, or similar lifting equipment capable of safely placing large precast concrete units.
How tall can a Freestanding Block wall be built?
Maximum wall height depends on site conditions, loading requirements, local regulations, and engineering considerations. Consult a qualified engineer or your local Redi-Rock producer for project-specific guidance.
