BENEFITS
Reduced Site Impact
Precast HCS retaining walls are manufactured off-site and delivered on demand, there is a significant reduction in truck traffic, dust , noise and debris from formwork associatedd with pour in place products
Durability
Concrete is a strong and durable material, which is a significant sustainable attibute. It will not rust, burn and has a service life in excess of 100 years.
Better Quality
HCS Retaining wall is made in controlled plant environment, so the site errors like sudden tempeature change, curing conditions, poor craftmanship and material quality are eleminiated.
Quick and easy installation
precast retaining walls are casted in the factory so no need for forwork at the site, the walls will be erected directly on the toungue while installing
Low material usage
HCS Walls are economic with the use of materials. Due to the presence of longitudinal voids in cross section leads to the low raw material usage
