RidgeBlok is structurally sound and robust

• The solid concrete blocks are robust, resulting in fewer breakages during transport and construction activities.
• The RidgeBlok  is a solid concrete block designed to dissipate stresses effectively once built into a retaining wall.
• The deep-lip recess system (tongue and groove) provides a positive interlocking force to dissipate horizontal forces exerted on the interface between the blocks.
• The compressive strength of the solid concrete RidgeBlok allows for construction of higher walls compared to hollow concrete retaining blocks.

RidgeBlok is unique

• The  RidgeBlok  facing is constructed at any angle between 70° and 90° to the horizontal without compromising any of its structural integrity. This character is seen as a major advantage over conventional, dry-stacked concrete blocks used in retaining-wall structures.
• The architectural grooves on the one side of the RidgeBlok enable the blocks to be packed indifferent visually pleasing patterns.

RidgeBlok is integrated

• The deep-lip recess system, tongue and groove system, provides a positive clamping force between the RidgeBlok  and the facing geosynthetic reinforced backfill. This aspect is seen as a major advantage over the conventional concrete retaining block which relies solely on friction to prevent “pull-out” of the geosynthetic from the concrete block.
