ViaBlock
ViaBlock reinforces bridge abutments
ViaBlock is a system of retaining walls widely used for the construction of bridge abutments, headwalls and wingwalls. Its face part is made of concrete blocks, while the geosynthetic reinforces the embankment. It is famous for its simple and economical installation, flexible design and durability.
Easy and economical installation
The nets are laid out on the levelled foundation surface and then the filling is laid out and packed. There is no need for a highly specialized team to install ViaBlock. Besides, the blocks are light and cheap to transport.
Suitable for remote areas
It is possible to install ViaBlock in places inaccessible to bulky and heavy machinery: it is easily assembled without a crane. The product is made of small blocks as opposed to other solutions that are usually made of one big concrete panel.
Flexibility
With ViaBlock, it is possible to form walls with various heights and shapes, such as concave or convex arches. You can choose different angles: vertical, slope, or terrace walls between 82 to 90°.
Strength
This retaining wall can handle extreme surcharge loads. With a proper surface treatment, ViaBlock is long-lasting and durable with a service life of around 50 years.

- Retaining walls
- Headwalls and wingwalls
