Retaining Wall Solutions for the Power Industry
When it comes to designing power stations and facilities, a level construction site in an easily accessible location is the ideal scenario – but it's seldom the reality. Luckily, there's a proven, engineered retaining wall solution you can rely on to overcome many site scenarios.
Why Choose Redi-Rock for Power Industry Applications?
Redi-Rock is a precast modular block wall system designed for engineers by engineers that uses massive, one-ton blocks that stack together like giant Lego blocks to build strong, reliable walls. The system makes it possible to overcome:
- Remote locations
- Uneven construction sites
- Limited space for expansion
- Environmental concerns
- Site security issues
- Lack of accessibility and more.
