• Blocks interlock securely and precisely without mechanical assistance
• Attractive, aesthetically pleasing
• Durable and versatile
• Hollow design creates built-in drainage, contributes to strength and maximizes square footage and height
• Assemble faster than competitors’ products
• Can significantly reduce overall project costs

Stains

The blocks can be stained to match any color imaginable–so it can fit seamlessly into your design and the natural surroundings of the landscape. Stone Strong Systems recommends a concrete penetrating stain.

Precast Modular Block

The LHV Precast Modular Block is functional, easier to install and easier to transport. Ideal applications include affordable retaining walls, landscaping walls, durable privacy walls, sound barriers and industrial gated entrances.

The precast modular block is available in a smooth textured finished and more the aesthetically pleasing cobblestone textured finish. The modular block is manufactured by LHV Precast as a wet cast concrete product permitting for some customization.

Modular Block is available in the following sizes:

Block

Size: 2′ x 2′ x 6′

Weight: 3800 lbs.

Capstones

Size: 8″ x 28″ x 6′

Weight: 1500 lbs.

Precast Cantilever Wall

Cantilever wall systems are typically large “L type units with” an extended footing on the front side of the wall. The footing helps resist the overturning moment. Cantilever wall systems retain the soil by virtue of their size and weight. No additional reinforcement of the soil is required.

LHV Precast can custom manufacture high quality cantilever retaining walls that are precast using reinforced concrete. They consist of a relatively thin stem and abase slab. The base is also divided into two parts, the heel and toe. The heel is the part of the base under the backfill. The toe is the other part of the base.

Advantages

• Use less concrete than monolithic gravity walls
• Generally economical up to about 25 ft. in height
• Wet cast concrete product allowing for customization

Construction

• Require careful construction and engineering
