Interlocking, self-aligning units for enhanced stability using StrataBlock™
StrataBlock™ reinforced soil wall is a composite system consisting of concrete block units in combination with a mass of soil which is reinforced and stabilised by StrataGrid™
StrataBlock™ wall units are self-aligning. They are cast with an inter-locking system in the form of an anchor shear key built into each unit which enables the alignment of blocks between two rows and connection to StrataGrid™.
The shear key also ensures consistent batter. Another key feature offered by StrataBlock™ units is the staggered hollows formed by the alignment of blocks, when filled with gravel behave as vertical stone columns (via aggregates) which adds additional stability to the wall. Reinforced soil walls with StrataBlock™ fascia and StrataGrid™ reinforcement are relatively flexible structures.
StrataBlock™ is dry-cast and because of its size and modularity, it provides a flexible fascia to the reinforced soil wall structure.

Key advantages of StrataBlock™
What makes our StrataBlock™ unique?
Cost & Time Efficiency
Significant cost savings compared to steel-reinforced concrete structures
Lead to significant cost and time savings
Structural Performance & Settlement Tolerance
Can tolerate high differential settlements
Walls built are virtually maintenance free
Construction Simplicity & Handling
Casting of blocks can start even before finalization of drawings
No requirement of specialized machines for erection because of easy manual handling
Reinforcement Integration
Provides 100% soil coverage for StrataGrid™ reinforcement
Drainage & Wall Stability
Shape of the blocks creates staggered hollows that are filled with aggregates (drainage fill) which gives additional stability to the wall
Reinforced soil walls with StrataBlock™ fascia and StrataGrid™ reinforcement are relatively flexible, open structures that facilitates water to drain through the fascia easily
Design Flexibility & Construction Control
StrataBlock™ units can be incorporated in walls having sharp curves and corners
The height of StrataBlock™ also ensures better control on backfill soil layer thickness and compaction during construction
