VERTICA® DOUBLE SIDED BLOCK†

New to our Vertica® range is a ‘double sided’ block, which enables a 0º / vertical wall to be constructed without mortar with the same textured finish on both sides:

• The Double Sided block is recommended for finishing the final course of a normal Vertica retaining wall when both sides would be visible.

• Split the Double Sided block in half to create an aesthetically pleasing stop end block for a normal Vertica retaining wall - an alternative to curving your wall in to the bank.

• The Double Sided block can also be used as a temporary barrier providing way leave access.

• The Double Sided block can be used as a self-supporting, freestanding, mortarless wall – not retaining.

† Vertica Double Sided block is not an Anchor® certified product.

VERTICA® MACHINE INSTALLAnchor® Vertica® can now be installed mechanically using a special clamp in conjunction with an excavation digger. The benefits include:

• Cost of installation is reduced significantly onsite + reduced labour costs.

• The safest way to lift and install a product is important with CDM (the legal regulator for construction H&S). The specifier has a duty of care to select the installation method least likely to result in human injury. AG’s SRW ‘machine installation’ is the safest option and the least likely to cause injury.

• Segmental retaining wall ‘machine installation’ is exclusive to AG.

• Vertica® can be packaged to suit machine installation at no extra cost.

• Machine installation can be as much as 2 to 3 times faster than traditional methods of segmental retaining wall installation.

Please contact our Technical Specification Department for more information.

VERTICA® STANDARD BLOCK• A distinctive design allows taller wall construction in incredibly

tight spaces. Use in developments or where space is at a premium.

• The 4º block has anti-climb benefits – designed with playgrounds in mind.

• The Stone Cut finish uses patented technology to create a ‘crunched’ finish, similar to natural stone.

• Variety of warm earth tone colours available and a natural textured finish.

• Mortarless and pinless – built with no mortar or concrete, the unique dry build locking system allows fast track construction in all weathers. This means quicker installation rates than traditional brick and blockwork.

• Features a patented locating lug that acts as a guide to ensure accurate alignment and precise set back every time.

• Suitable for all retaining walls – from low height landscape to tall commercial walls.

• The capping block is shaped asymmetrically (tapered), making capping straight or curved walls much easier.
