  • T-WALL®

    T-WALL® is a gravity retaining wall system,consisting of modular precast concreteunits and select backfi ll. The systemis a simple proven solution for gradeseparation on highway, bridge, railroad,water, commercial applications, andmore.

    Benefits:• Easy installation with no mechanical

    • Variable length stems reduce backfi ll

    • Top units can be cast with integrated coping

    • Relaxed select backfi ll specifi cations

  • The concrete facing units have monolithic perpendicular stems, forming the shape of a “T”. The stems internally stabilize the wall, providing pullout resistance against the lateral earth pressure exerted on the back of the facing. The units are easily stacked without mechanical connections.

    T-WALL units come in three sizes, each with its ownadvantages depending on the application, wall size, andother criteria. Each of the three unit types accommodatevarying stem lengths, as well as extended-height andsloped tops for the uppermost wall course. A wide rangeof standard and custom architectural treatments can beapplied to the front face.

    T-WALL’s design methodology allows for a stem lengththat varies over the height of the wall. As the courses arestacked, the stems decrease in length and require lessselect backfill. The robust precast units efficiently providethe stability needed for gravity retaining walls with extremeheight and loading.
