The system consists of full height precast concrete wall panel facing units manufactured and delivered to your jobsite completed with pre-attached perpendicular counterforts. The integrated counterforts are jointed onsite to a structural concrete footing which then forms a highly efficient and robust cantilever precast retaining wall.<\/p>\n<\/div>
Well suited for sites having a soil bearing capacity that allows for a shallow foundation, TechWall\u2122 is widely used precast retaining wall in civil construction as part of various earth retention works for:<\/p>\n
The TechWall\u2122 solution combines an engineered precast concrete wall panel structural facing that securely matches with an integral precast cantilever T-Beam to resist lateral earth pressure, which results in a relatively thin and optimised overall concrete profile for your cantilever wall. Based on your project specifics, our professional engineers select from a variety of counterfort options and select facing sizes to optimise the manufacturing and installation processes best suited for your project.<\/p>\n
The inherent quality and e\ufb03ciency of designing and building with our precast concrete facing elements, in combination with a highly e\ufb03cient structural design of the integral counterforts make this wall system attractive for builders to receive prefabricated materials to construct tall precast retaining walls within a narrow space in challenging surroundings.<\/p>\n
TechWall\u2122 reduces excavation requirements in cut-and-fill situations while ensuring cleaner sites and less disruption to the surroundings. Rapid installation procedures reduce construction time by 50% or more. Our solution eliminates the need for vertical formwork and requires little or no scaffolding during installation. Safety procedures on the jobsite are more easily organised as compared to conventional methods due to process planning and predictability for assured precision in component placement.<\/p>\n
TechWall\u2122 requires minimal maintenance over the service life. This solution also allows for a wider range of backfills as compared to alternative solutions that require expensive aggregates or special materials and procedures for backfilling.<\/p>\n
TechWall\u2122 is especially advantageous when retaining structures must be built in locations having severe cut restrictions, limited rights-of way or obstructive barriers. Our engineers will customise the precast concrete wall panel facings and counterfort sections for each project. For instance, facings and counterforts are pre-designed to accommodate clearance for utilities or existing embankments, and to facilitate attachments such as copings, barriers, catenaries and parapets.<\/p>\n
