Pure Proto II™ Post Tension Retaining Wall
Basic Design

Proto II™ Post Tension Retaining Wall - 6' High Maximum

With most stepped sites requiring retaining of 6 feet and less, this wall offers outstanding speed and value.

  • Retains up to 6 feet in pure post tension, level or 2:1 slope backfill.
  • A Proto II™ Fence Wall, up to 6'4" may be installed on top of the retainer.
  • Eliminates rebar and solid grout, and jurisdictional inspection.
  • Uses 8-inch cmu, in many cases replaces 12-inch wide conventional retainers.
