Various Types

CRECAST steel forms can be adjusted to produce wall components of varying size and shape. The standard L-shape, designed for retaining applications with backfill (Fig. Ia), can be enhanced with a second spur of fixed dimensions (Fig. Ib). This will decrease the total lenght of the wall base and also meet the requirements for further loading scenarios of retaining applications. Figure IIb. shows the screen wall design with a tongue+groove added to the sides of the wall.

CRECAST walls are manufactured in two different steel forms:
