Stonebloc is a high-productivity, durable precast concrete retaining wall system. At the heart of the system is the 800 standard block which weighs 300kg and is used to build the majority of a Stonebloc retaining wall. However, there are a series of very important, less commonly used Stonebloc blocks which can enhance your wall.
In this article, we provide an overview of these blocks and the vital role they play in delivering a comprehensive, high-aesthetic retaining wall system.
Base Blocks
Base blocks add mass to a wall and are crucial for higher gravity walls to resist overturning and sliding forces. Stonebloc walls are designed based on the first engineering principles for conventional gravity-based systems.
With Stonebloc base bocks, walls do not require embedment and have minimal foundation requirements.
Variations include:
The base blocks (as well as the rest of the Stonebloc range) were used extensively through the Ara Hills Development in Orewa.
Cappers
Cappers deliver a clean finish to the top of the wall and also allow walls to be built in increments of 200mm. They also provide a flat surface for top-mounted fencing or balustrades.
Variations include:
200 Capper Double Ended Block
Instead of using the 800 flat top, a capper can be used on the top layer for a more refined design. Adding a capper to your builds means a flat surface for fencing/balustrades.
Variations of the block include:
