Alpenstein®
Dimensions and Information
COMPOSITION &
PERFORMANCE
Alpenstein is made by blending iron
oxide pigments with a cement-rich concrete mixture. Utilizing pressure
and vibration, specialize equipment mold this mixture into high-density
segmental retaining wall units with exceptional strength and durability.
Alpenstein meets or exceeds the industry standards of ASTM C1372.
INSTALLATION
Alpenstein can accommodate a variety of
slope inclinations up to 70 degrees. It can be utilized for most walls
under 3.5 ft high without geogrid, while higher walls and tiered
construction can be built with the aid of geogrid reinforcement. A
qualified soil engineer should be consulted for walls over 6 ft high or
when site and soil conditions are questionable. For cross section,
