Cantilever Walls.

No tie-back. The engineered heel does the work.

When should you choose a cantilever retaining wall?

When should you choose a cantilever retaining wall? Pick cantilever when retained height runs above 3 m (9ft10in), the wall is permanent, or vehicle surcharge is significant. WCCP cantilevers go to 6 m (19ft8in), surcharge to 50 kN/m² (HA traffic), engineered to Eurocode 2.

Free-standing precast cantilever retaining walls, heights 1.5m to 6.0m (4ft11in to 19ft8in), surcharge ratings up to 50 kN/m² (incl. HA traffic LM1). Cast to Eurocode 2 and Eurocode 7. No tie-back required; engineered heel handles the moment. Please call to check current yard stock or current lead times.
