Modular Blocks:
​Ultrablock concrete blocks are engineered and designed to build segmental modular block retaining walls. In addition to retaining wall blocks, these units are also recommended and utilized for all types of slope protection, landslide repairs, crib-wall alternatives, gabions, rock/boulder walls and timber lagging. In addition to slope protection, there are a wide variety of uses for Ultrablock units including: containment bunkers, bulkheads, seawalls, wingwalls for bridges, barriers, retention ponds, culverts, wine storage facilities, etc.
Ultrablock modular concrete blocks offer an easy-to-build, structural retaining wall that are:
  • Versatile - can be used as a cut or fill wall with a variety of configurations
  • Aesthetic - 3 stocked faces available
  • Economical - up to half the cost of cast-in-place walls
  • Designable - build as a MSE (tieback) retaining wall (up to 50' tall) or a gravity retaining wall without tiebacks (up to 30' tall)
Gravity Walls
Gravity walls are designed on mass and weight of materials in the wall. These retaining walls require no tiebacks and are usually applicable in a "cut slope" situation.
These types of walls have considerable cost on excavation and structural backfill. Ultrablock gravity walls have been successfully designed and built to 27.5 feet tall including a wall for Bonneville Power Administration
MSE Walls:
MSE Walls, or tieback walls, are best used in "fill" slope situations. They are built with a combination of blocks and geogrid tiebacks.
Ultrablock units are an excellent replacement for small block walls, because an installer is able to place 12 square feet of face at a time. Typical installation estimates are 10-12 blocks per hour.
MSE walls incorporate GEOGRID products to reinforce the wall. These grids allow walls to be built vertically, with a minimum amount of block.
Ultrawall Software:
Ultrawall offers designers / engineers the opportunity to analyze a multitude of project scenarios quickly and easily. Ultrawall is a robust tool that includes:
·       Gravity & MSE Walls
·       LRFD Standards
·       Various Loading Options
·       Seismic Considerations
·       Global Stability
