Design Options

Gravity Wall

Gravity walls are built with the large MagnumStone blocks that use a tongue-and-grove system to lock the gravity extenders in place. They rely on their own and extended weight to hold back the earth behind them.

Planter Wall

The aesthetically pleasing plantable terraces maximise green area, which reduce the “heat island” effect. It’s unique internal drainage system makes it the prime choice for environmentally friendly and sustainable wall solutions.

Geogrid Wall

Geogrids used with the appropriate lengths, layers and compacted backfill materials will resist the active forces above and behind the wall. The use of geogrid reinforcement with the MagnumStone system is typically very cost effective.

Mass Block Wall

Mass block function without reinforcing. Stable up to 1.8m height. Rapidly constructed and an efficient alternative to gabions for emergency roadside slip repair or another option where a block facing is required with limited space for reinforcing.

Positive Connection

MagnumStone allows for the ultimate geogrid positive connection. This unique positive or mechanical connection provides the system with a greater safety factor for connection when designing for heavy loads, bridges and railways.

Steel Grid

The MagnumStone steel grid solution provides designers with a great option, similar to traditional panel/steel systems, with significant installation and cost advantages to the end user.

Cantilevered Wall

The large vertical and horizontal hollow cores of the MagnumStone units provide the permanent form for reinforcing steel and concrete, making installation easy and cost effective.

Soil Nailed

Soil nailing could be one of the fastest growing solutions for retaining wall structures, as building restrictions increase due to population growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

The MagnumStone extenders are used only for a gravity wall where extra mass is required to make the wall stable. They nest into the back of the block to provide extra support. Extenders are not required for geogrid reinforced walls.

Currently we are stocking the LedgerStone finish which has an attractive natural rock appearance. Other face details are available on a project specific basis.

MagnumStone can be designed as a reinforced wall with StrataGrid reinforcement, or as a mass gravity structure without grid. Ask Cirtex which option is best for your site.
