Our Products
Wall to Wall
Eco -Retainer looks like a plain concrete block, but inside is a compressed bale of 40 truck tyres or 110 car tyres, bound by a galvanised high tensile steel wire. The blocks are designed with dimples and locating channels to interlock at varying angles, allowing flexibility in building:
- Retaining walls
- Road foundations
- Stopbanks and abutments
- Breakwater and wharfs
- Sea-walls
- Landscaping features
- Deadman weights
- Light Pole Stands
and many other uses
Features & Benefits:
