Join us to hear from industry experts on the designs for application of large format retaining wall blocks.

Large format retaining wall systems use oversized products that are installed using machinery and can offer outstanding benefits in design, installation and cost.

In this event we will explain how to design key details in retaining walls with large format segmental blocks to maximise the potential benefits and achieve better real world outcomes using project examples.

From designing to minimise excavation, reduce backfill time and costs, improve foundation design, and drainage, this presentation will aim to impart practical knowledge on how to design with large format retaining wall blocks.

Learning outcomes

The learning outcomes for this event, include:

- An understanding of how to engineer retaining walls using large format retaining wall block systems.

- How to select from retaining wall solutions for your project based on wall height, site conditions and various other factors.

- Understanding of each retaining wall systems strengths and limitations.

- Design and development of retaining wall system, including research and development.

- Factors to be considered for current and future projects.
