Crib Retaining Wall
Crib retaining walls are gravity type retaining wall that uses cells created by timber, pre-cast concrete or plastic framing.
Criblock retaining walls are gravity type retaining wall that uses cells created by timber, pre-cast concrete or plastic framing. The cells are filled with stone therefore they give the mass for structural stability. Criblock is not dependent on tie-back or geogrid systems for wall stability. As a result this greatly reduces earth works.
Criblock retaining walls allow water to escape from the retained material through the open grid pattern of the structure. This stops any build-up of hydrostatic pressure building up behind the wall that can cause failure.
Criblock retaining walls cells can be constructed from a number of materials including:
- Timber
- Pre-cast Concrete
The selection of the material is dependent on the budget and design life span of the wall.
We can advise you on the best material and manufacture from your project brief.
Criblock retaining walls are an economical solution for many projects. However, we can give you a full analysis of the best type of retaining wall based on the specifics of your enquiry.
