King Post Retaining Wall Systems — Devon Manufacturer.
UC posts and infill, sized to your surcharge.
A king post retaining wall is built from steel UC posts driven or socketed at fixed centres with precast concrete panels slotted between. WCCP supplies the panel infill — 95, 145 or 180 mm (4in, 6in or 7in) thick — sized to your post centres and surcharge.
King-post retaining walls — UB/UC steel posts socketed into pad foundations at 2.4m (7'10") centres, with prestressed concrete infill panels stacked between. Heights to 6.0m (19'8"), surcharge ratings up to 60 kN/m² with the right post and footing, including HA traffic loading (LM1). Designed to Eurocode 2 for the concrete elements, with current structural steelwork design codes for the posts. Please call to check current yard stock or current lead times.

Specification
Posts, panels and surcharge ratings.
We supply to your engineer's design — WCCP is a manufacturer, not a design practice. Post section, spacing and surcharge come off their calculations to Eurocode 2 and Eurocode 3. Send us the drawing and we'll cast the infill panels to suit.
