Secura Retaining Wall Blocks

The voids make the block lighter and easier to lift and construct on site. The voids are also filled with 10mm single size drainage aggregate to provide extra stability and improve drainage.

Secura Grand has a 7 degree set back which is automatically created by the nib as the blocks are stacked.

Geogrid is a high strength geosynthetic mesh material used to reinforce soils. Geogrids are available in various strengths and come in rolls. For all Secura Retaining walls designed and built to BBA requirements Huesker Fortrac geogrids must be used.

A gravity wall is a wall which relies on its weight to retain the soil behind it. The weight of the blocks and their set back create the retention.

Yes, Tobermore offers two types of retaining wall solutions. Secura Lite, low height gravity walls with a maximum retaining wall height of 880mm, ideal for domestic applications. Secura Grand, which can be constructed as a gravity wall, a reinforced wall or a concrete backfilled wall, is suitable for higher retaining walls, and is ideal for groundworkers addressing site sloping issues on larger sites such as housing developments and commercial applications.

Prior to construction commencing, practical design and planning should reduce the number of Secura blocks that require cutting. Our range of retaining wall design tools and support services will aid efficient planning and on-site construction, saving time and money by reducing the wastage that accompanies cutting and splitting blocks. Should you need to cut Secura blocks, we recommend that you use a masonry saw or bolster and hammer.

In most cases, concrete foundations are not required and the wall can be built on a foundation of compacted granular material. Please contact Tobermore for more information.

Usually once your wall height goes above 1.2m geogrid reinforcement will be required, although it may be required below this height if there is a high surcharge on the wall. Please refer to Tobermore Secura Guidelines brochure or consult an engineer. Geogrid reinforcement can only be used with Secura Grand.
