Managing Storm Water With
A Retaining Wall Block System
According to the Coastal Service Center and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, unprotected waterfront property erodes away at an average rate of about 2.5 feet annually. Not only is valuable property lost, but water quality is also affected when erosion occurs. To make sure that erosion is kept at a minimum, use Eagle Bay’s Anchor segmental retaining wall block systems.
These retaining wall block systems offer a durable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing solution to shoreline erosion. As engineered, the dry-stacked retaining wall block allows water to penetrate a specifically constructed reinforced wall behind the zone. The water then drains out slowly, leaving the shoreline strong and in place. The Landmark System can be attached directly to soil nails or rock bolts, eliminating extensive excavation. This feature also saves trees that would have been removed in the excavation.
Use Stabilized Aggregate for an Unconventional Solution
If there isn’t enough space to construct a conventional retaining wall with geo-synthetic reinforcement or if poor in-fill soils are your challenge, stabilized aggregate can be an effective option. A cost-effective, non-conventional retaining wall option, building with stabilized aggregate offers unique solutions to difficult site problems. Excavating costs can be dramatically reduced and excavation depth can be minimized to preserve property.
The Landmark Retaining Wall Block and Transportation
In addition to helping keep shoreline erosion to a minimum, the Landmark retaining wall block system is being used by the transportation industry. In an industry with such high standards, these retaining wall block systems are a dependable and sought after material for highway design. This retaining wall block system has superior strength and is ideal for tall and high load bearing walls. It incorporates a unique vertical shape with the utilization of the strength of soil reinforcements. The Landmark retaining wall block in Virginia has helped create miles of our area highways.
Landmark retaining wall block systems are so versatile that they can be used for small residential landscaping projects and also for larger commercial constructions. They not only offer a functional purpose but they are also aesthetically appealing, and are sure to add natural beauty to any home landscape or commercial site.
