Built-In Set-Back
Allan Block system options allow you to choose a 3 deg, 6 deg and 12 deg setback
to meet your site and design requirements. The raised front lip automatically
establishes the proper setback. Use the basic gravity wall system for lower all
projects. For taller projects use the geogrid reinforcement system.
Engineered for simplicity
Allan Block's built-in features make retaining walls easy to engineer and simple
to build. These simple engineering features make Allan Block retaining wall
systems the most efficient and reliable products on the market.
Mortarless Construction
Mortarless technology works. Building "flexible structures" with interlocking
dry-stacked material provides superior performance over rigid construction
technique.
Built-In Interlock
Every Allan Block is firmly locked in place by the patented front lip. No pins,
no mortar, no fancy connectors.
Built-In Drainage
The hollow-core design combines with mortarless construction to allow water to
drain freely from behind the wall. A vertical "drain field" is formed by the
layer of crushed rock placed behind the block and in the block cores. Water
moves easily down through the drain field. the dry-stack construction technique
allows the water to escape by flowing around the blocks and out the wall face.
This built-in drainage prevents any major build-up of hydrostatic pressure.
