Pecoetos) RetaHorizontal Panels
Horizontal prestressed panels are simply supported by vertical
steel columns. Panels can be face fixed or slotted between the
column webs as desired. A tongue and groove joint system en-
ables the panels to share the load and ensures that the panels fit
together neatly. The load from the stored/retained material
passes through the panels into the supporting steel structure,
Panels are available in different thicknesses to suit a variety of
applications and load/span situations. A range of standard
heights are custom made to any lenath to suit post spacing.
Vertical Cantilever Panels
Prestressed vertical cantilever panels provide a rapid, flexible, permanent, retaining wall solution. Wall
units are offered in a range of standard widths and thicknesses, with heights manufactured to suit each ap-
plication. A future proof design ensures all units can be loaded from either face. This also allows flexibility
in the foundation orientation; particularly beneficial in boundary wall constructions.
The modular units lock together with tongue and groove joint system. The joint also allows units to follow a
moderate radius enabling the construction of concave and convex walls structures.

L Shape and Arrow Panels
Traditional L shaped precast retaining units are manufactured in 1m widths. Units are available in heights
up to 3.6m. Unlike many earlier designs, bespoke heights are also available without prohibitive set up
costs.
‘The design also features constant wall stem section making truly vertical wall faces and increased
resistance to high level impacts. An added benefit is the square heel design that facilitates flush wall to
floor joints and makes simple corner arrangements.
‘The freestanding Arrow panels are designed to
produce robust, durable division walls that are
readily re-located. The units tongue and groove
joints lock together on placement without the need
of complex steel connections.
Stability is provided by the massive dead weight
base with cast-in fork lift recess to enable fast,
easy re-location,
‘Again the units are manufactured in almost any
height to suit application, and in widths of 1m and
1.2m.
In permanent locations, units may be dowel fixed
and joints sealed.
Boot Panels
Boot wall retaining units are manufactured in lengths up to 10m to make for rapid, safe site construction,
‘Walls can be made in single panels up to 3m high
‘The support details depend on the wall height and anticipated surcharge loads. Lighter loads can be re-
strained by simple drill and dowel fixing through the panel boot.
With higher walls or larger imposed loads, additional restraint can be provided via an insitu boot cast on
the completion of wall erection, or via a structural connection between the head of the wall and high level
floor slab.
The units are designed for the construction of low level retaining walls, ideal for distribution centre yard
walls, ramp walls, machinery pits and loading dock head walls.
