Boundary Fences: : The Facade Retaining Wall System and the BRAACE Retaining Wall System can be designed and constructed with the inclusion of a boundary fence/noise wall saving on additional cost to found boundary fence posts behind the retaining wall system and maximise the use of your property.
6. Reduced site disturbance : There is no requirement for strip footings or earth straps therefore excavation is kept to a minimum. Subsequently the area required to facilitate construction is also reduced. The access required for a wall up to 1200mm high is 1.5 metres wide.
7. Construction Savings: : The Facade Retaining Wall System and the BRAACE Retaining Wall System is totally DIY. Save on expensive trades such as steel fixers, block layers and concreters.
8. Cost Effective: : The Facade Retaining Wall System and the BRAACE Retaining Wall System is cost effective when compared to other retaining wall systems.
9. Environmentally friendly: : All the steel components are hot-dip galvanised, the waterproof membrane is UV resistant, rot proof and completely impermeable, and combined with the cavity structure for your chosen facade, increase the life expectancy of your retaining wall. Importantly, unlike treated timber systems, the Facade Retaining Systems components contain no harmful chemicals, which can leech into the soil and cause long term damage to our environment.
10. Speed of erection: : 40 metres of wall can be constructed in two days (finishing excluded).
Day 1: Drill, pour concrete and stand support posts.
Day 2: Place panels and backfill
11. Long life: The support structure is finished in galvanised steel, the waterproof membrane is UV resistant and the CSR Hebel AAC panels are not affected by harsh climatic conditions.
