The wet-cast and air-entrained construction of the cement blocks ensures that they can withstand decades of freezing and thawing in any seasonal environment. They are also popular for roadways and bridges because they do not impose on right-of-way areas.īasic engineering principles ensure the stability of gravity walls. In a situation where your space is limited by a steep, hilly area, the gravity wall can be used to add to the area of level ground to make it more usable. They can reach up to 17 feet tall without reinforcing geogrid.

Concrete block retaining walls provide several advantages in a residential application. Each block in a residential design weighs approximately one ton and covers about five feet of wall space. They rely on their own weight to hold back the earth behind them. Gravity walls are built with massive blocks that use a tongue-and-groove system to lock together. It also works well in situations where you need to access utilities behind the area after the wall has been built. A gravity wall is a concrete block retaining wall that can be built in a tight area where there isn’t a lot of room to excavate.
