WALLING

AG Walling - Retaining / Freestanding. The best system for the best solution.

When designing and specifying a retaining wall, there are many solutions available to engineers – such as cast in-situ, gabion, stone, gravity walls and hybrid systems. While these can all be made to work well, each option comes with challenges – some are time-consuming to build and some are difficult to engineer safely. Some types can only be built with a reverse angle, while others are expensive to implement. Many solutions also lack the aesthetic finesse that architects and landscaping designers require.

AG manufacture and supply segmental retaining walls as we believe, simply, that these offer the best solution for engineers. And amongst the many ranges of segmental retaining walls available today, AG’s Anchor system offers what we feel is by far the best-engineered option – providing a range of safe, flexible, cost-effective solutions that let construction professionals produce superior walls not just quickly, but also beautifully, within any project. AG have produced Anchor systems for 1,000’s of walls, big and small throughout the UK and Ireland which means we have the experience and knowledge to help. AG also provide double sided, 'freestanding', selfsupporting, mortarless wall solutions - Kamden Pro and Kamden (not retaining).

Anchor® Landmark®

Suitable for high performance under extreme loading conditions, Anchor Landmark® designed with a unique locking connection between block facing and geogrid to offer unparalleled connection strength – so it’s suitable for even the most challenging projects.

Anchor® Vertica®

The Anchor Vertica® system is designed for steep, sloping hillsides and other traditionally difficult installation areas. Vertica® walls can be built to virtually any height in incredibly tight spaces thanks to patented, built-in alignment locators and a near vertical rise for less excavation and land loss.

Kamden Pro

New ‘double sided’ block, which enables a 0º / vertical wall to be constructed without mortar with the same textured finish on both sides. Kamden Pro is recommended for finishing the final course of a normal Vertica® retaining wall when both sides would be visible. Kamden Pro is not a retaining wall.

Anchor® Diamond®

Each Anchor Diamond® block features a patented rear lip that acts as a guide to ensure accurate alignment and precise set back every time without the need for mortar. Combined with its mortarless and pinless design, this provides a clear advantage in fast installation, no weather delays and reduced labour costs.

Anchor® Bayfield®

With its rough hewn weathered texture, Anchor Bayfield® is an extremely versatile dry-build walling option. It can be used to create attractive retaining walling up to 0.9m high using blocks alone – or can be combined with geogrid reinforcement to build engineered walls up to 3m.

Kamden

Contemporary in appearance, Kamden is the ideal choice when building freestanding, self-supporting walls up to 0.9m (3ft) in height. Double sided and completely vertical and with a unique and patented locating system that ensures perfect alignment, Kamden walls are built with no mortar or concrete.
