Dry stacked, mortarless construction. The system can tolerate movement and settlement without causing visual distress at the face. Gabi® walls are relatively flexible structures that are typically based on a compacted aggregate foundation. Subject to an engineers design. Permeability Gabi® walls are permeable structures. To eliminate the development of hydrolic pressure behind the blocks. Durability Gabi® components are manufactured from wet-cast concrete, resulting in a very durable retaining wall system. The blocks are resistant to cracking and do not splinter or decay like treated timbers or railroad sleepers. The blocks contain no steel reinforcement (apart from a galvanised lifting eye) and have no exposed wires to corrode like the old fashioned Gabion cage system. Rapid Deployment Two experienced workers with an excavator can place up to 80m2 of wall per day. Blocks are easily lifted and placed using the galvanised Swift Lift Anchor cast into the top of each block. Using this system entire retaining walls can be built in a fraction of the time spent on many other systems. Economy The Gabi®system is competivley priced when all project costs are taken into account, including installation time, traffic control, durability and in-place performance. Design All Gabi® walls must be built in accordance with site specific design, your local council regulations, and prepared by a registered engineer. Retaining Walls NSW can provide a design service as part the Gabi® package, if required. |
