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 supply Secura Lite which is used for low height gravity walls with a maximum retained wall height of 880mm and Secura Grand which is used for higher walls.  Visit our dedicated Secura walling website page here.

Good design and planning before construction commences can reduce the number of blocks which require cutting and save time. If it is necessary to cut the blocks you should 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 and Secura Major.
