Retaining Wall Market Segments, Niche Products and Value Propositions

Welcome to Our Short Presentation

Cast-in-place Walls – Material Package only @ N/A per square foot of face - Complete and Installed @ $45-60 per square foot of faceValue Proposition – Vertical applications with no room for reinforcement, availability, design flexibility, design theory familiar to engineers, reliable performance and longevity

MSE Panel Walls – Material Package only @ $12-15 per square foot of face - Complete and Installed @ $30-45 per square foot of faceValue Proposition – Vertical applications with room for reinforcement, dependable alternate to Cast-in-place, mechanical connection to reinforcement, performance of wet-cast concrete, design flexibility

Large Wet-Cast Block Walls – Material Package @ $12-15 per square foot of face - Complete / Installed @ $30-40 per square foot of faceValue Proposition – availability, performance of wet-cast concrete, taller walls without additional reinforcement than most systems, lower price than cast-in-place, variety of textures and colors

Upgraded Dry-Cast Block Walls – Material Package @ $10-15 per square foot of face - Complete / Installed @ $30-45 per square foot of faceValue Proposition – latest aesthetic treatments, similar look to natural stone at lower price point, similar engineering design to standard dri-cast block walls

Standard Dry-Cast Block Walls – Material Package @ $4-9 per square foot of face - Complete / Installed @ $13-25 per square foot of faceValue Proposition – availability, more durable than wood, design flexibility, walls built with smaller equipment, lower price than cast-in-place, variety of textures and colors

Welded Wire Walls – Material Package @ $5-10 per square foot of face - Complete / Installed @ $15-25 per square foot of faceValue Proposition – walls and slopes, design flexibility, availability, easily shipped, possible greenspace, lower price where aesthetics are not a driver

Creative and Unusual “do-it-yourself” Plantable Walls

Even in the absence of “marketed” systems, living walls can be accomplished various ways.

Soil-filled bags such as DeltaLok, socks such as Filtrexx, fabric-wrapped Geogrids. Material and installed costs vary greatly ranging from $20-$100 per sf

Concrete Crib Wall Systems and Wire Facing Panels Designed for Planting – ranging from $15-$50 per sf

Stacked Plastic Cellular Confinement Systems ( GeoCells ) installed range from $15-$30 per sf

Concrete Cells with Hollow Cores and a Variety of Exterior Shapes are available in Europe, Australia and South Africa

Modular Block with Varying Sizes of Fill Receiving Cavities and NO Bottom for Ease of Shipping and Handling. The material cost is low @ $4-$10 per sf but if installed with a space between, they take great care and maintenance to support long-term plant growth.

Modular Block having Varying sizes of fill receiving cavities and a Full Bottom to securely hold soil are more structural but need big fill volumes to support long-term plant growth.

SmartSlope Living Walls – Material Package @ $8-10 per square foot of face - Complete / Installed @ $20-25 per square foot of faceValue Proposition – living walls and slopes, performance of wet-cast concrete, design flexibility, solid bottom, built with smaller equipment, mechanical connection to efficient reinforcement, best grow-out in niche, sustainable, greenspace, LEED contribution, storm-water retention/detention, great aesthetics
