Precast Concrete Retaining Walls Perth & WA
CoreCast manufactures precast concrete retaining wall units and supplies them to builders, civil contractors and developers across the Perth metropolitan area and regional Western Australia. L-shaped, T-shaped (counterfort), gravity and crib/panel configurations are manufactured to the project's engineered wall schedule.
Wall type, retained height, reinforcement, footing, drainage and lifting requirements follow the project engineering and approved drawings. CoreCast manufactures and supplies the units; placement and installation on site are by others.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of retaining walls does CoreCast manufacture?
CoreCast manufactures L-shaped, T-shaped (counterfort), gravity and crib/panel retaining wall units. Which configuration is appropriate depends on retained height, soil and groundwater conditions, surcharge loading and footing design, as determined by the project engineers.
How high can precast retaining walls go?
There is no general height limit that applies to every site. Retained height is set by the structural and geotechnical design for the specific project, along with section, reinforcement, footing and drainage requirements. CoreCast manufactures to the approved drawings for that design.
Are precast retaining units quicker to deal with on site than in-situ walls?
Precast units arrive cast and cured, so site formwork, pouring and curing are not required for the wall itself. Whether that shortens the overall programme depends on engineering approvals, earthworks, site conditions, transport and the sequence agreed with your team.
Does CoreCast provide engineering for retaining walls?
Design responsibility sits with the project's structural and geotechnical engineers and depends on the agreed scope. CoreCast coordinates with them on cast-in items, lifting points and tolerances, and manufactures to the approved drawings.
