Product Description:

Redi-Rock® is one integrated system with many solutions that features the use of giant concrete blocks (1,500 - 4,900 lb/block) to create taller gravity and sea walls with multiple batter options. They also offer stronger connection strength with Positive Connection / MSE walls up to 60 feet and beyond (18+ meters tall). They provide many engineered solutions that integrate within a single wall system: including anchoring, barriers, cantilevered CIP, combination gravity / MSE, flood wall CIP, freestanding, and revetment options. Redi-Rock is a machine-placed system that speeds up the installation process. They use a wet-cast, first purpose concrete with a minimum of 4,000 psi and a freeze-thaw rating for greater durability and a longer life span.
