Gravity Retaining Wall And Large Gravity Retaining Wall Block

Recon blocks are available in a wide variety of shapes, types and sizes. Each of the block types have been designed to enhance the aesthetic appearance of a finished retaining wall. In addition, the large selection of shapes and types provides ease and simplicity in the installation process without adding undue complexity for designers, installers or manufacturers.

Because Recon blocks are produced using wet-cast concrete, they lend themselves to a varying degree of customization. Many existing shapes and face textures that we offer today were originally developed to accommodate the needs of an owner, designer or installer.

Recon’s gravity wall blocks represent the workhorse of the product offering. They come in face dimensions of 16” (40.6cm) x 48” (122cm) and range from a depth of 24” (61cm) to 84” (213.4 cm), with resulting weights ranging from 1400 (635 kg) to 4100 pounds (1860 kg). Custom depths of 132” (335.3) can also be produced. With an industry leading number of block depths, and the ability to create custom setback, creating an economical design with simple installation has never been easier.

Recon top of wall blocks allow for the customizations and flexibility to finish off a retaining wall in nearly any application. The standard top block allows for grading within 4” (10cm) of the face of the wall. The Full High Cap and Capstone create an above grade finish that is visible from the back of the wall. The corner top blocks provide a return to facilitate easier grading at top of wall steps.

Freestanding & Column Blocks

Recon’s freestanding blocks can either be installed at the top of a retaining wall or as a separate, independent structure. These blocks can be placed independently to create a screen wall or stacked on top of a retaining wall to create a pedestrian barrier. With texture on both the front and back face, freestanding blocks installed on the top of a retaining wall can be partially buried or fully exposed; allowing for greater flexibility of finished grading at the top of the wall.
