Precast Concrete Earth Retaining Systems

Precast concrete manufacturers located throughout North America produce a wide range of engineered earth retaining systems designed to provide a straight forward and cost effective solution for your next project.

Issues with wall height, right-of-way, seismic activity, drainage, quality control and aesthetics can all be overcome by specifying the use of a precast concrete earth retaining system. There are numerous proprietary systems available which include precast concrete Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) face panels and large Precast Modular Blocks (PMB). Precast concrete cantilever walls, crib walls and post-and-panel systems are also readily available from many local precast concrete manufacturers.

Precast Concrete Sound Barrier Walls

As highways continue to explode with traffic, both the United States and Canadian governments have passed numerous laws requiring noise reduction measures on government-funded highway projects. With the increasing importance of noise reduction on highways, engineers are continually seeking economical, visually pleasing, noise mitigation solutions for communities throughout North America.

Precast concrete noise barriers provide just that, offering the perfect combination of strength, durability and unlimited design options. Engineers and community planning groups often prefer the time-tested versatility of precast concrete construction over competing materials. Precast concrete noise barriers can be designed to complement a highway viewscape or blend in with a city’s architecture and local topography. Many community planning groups take advantage of concrete’s versatility to capture and preserve a community theme or identity. By adding color additives or stains and textured form liners into the design the options are nearly endless. Sound absorptive treatments are also available to provide additional noise reduction.
