The residential retaining wall project comprised Betoatlas units providing a flexible build with shape and curve and a natural buff colour to tone in with its surroundings. Wakefield based Grass Concrete Ltd has a line-up of vertical landscaping products known as the Betoconcept range. This proven range brings different shapes and styles to accommodate planting on high or low walls. The range includes Betoatlas, Betoflor, Betotitan, Leromur, Betojar, Betoplus and Betonap products offering a real variety of planting options as an alternative to what would be otherwise dull and un-inspiring structures.
The retaining wall at this residential project included a 250mm long gauge to the Betoatlas blocks, which could easily cope with the hillside profile with the edge of the wall stepping down with each course, so minimising the visual impact of the structure.
From this concave section the wall continues around the rear of the building with a series of dramatic reflex curves that show to good effect the ability to mirror rolling natural profiles.
The wall has been constructed to a Betocalcul warranted software design and features a structural backfill horizontally reinforced with Betonap geo-grid to form a composite mass wall structure.
The Grass Concrete range of Betoconcept retaining walls combine reduced noise levels with attractive vertical landscapes. Offering a variety of vertical planting options to increase the overall green envelope of a development.
