University & Campus Case Studies
Morehead State University, Morehead, Kentucky
Once an unsightly part of campus, this 9-foot (2.7-meter) tall storm channel retaining wall at Morehead State University now keeps storm water from damaging the campus by preventing erosion.
Grand Valley State University, Allendale, Michigan
Grand Valley State University chose Redi-Rock retaining and freestanding walls for their stadium renovation. The grand scale of the 1,600 Limestone blocks helped achieve the finished result the university was after.
Oral Roberts University, Tulsa, Oklahoma
When the natural banks of the stormwater runoff channel near Oral Roberts University (ORU) began eroding, the City of Tulsa needed to act. They chose Redi-Rock, knowing the massive blocks could withstand the velocity of the moving water.
