The Allan Block retaining wall system is one of the most popular on Vancouver Island. Different colors, shapes and sizes of blocks are available. Prefabricated concrete block retaining walls have gained favor over poured-in-place concrete walls or treated-timber walls.
They are more economical, esthetically pleasing, more environmentally sound and also last for an extremely long time. Allan Block walls can also be repaired with relative ease, with the wall always keeping its original look.
An endless array of design possibilities can be achieved with Allan Block. Allan Block's patented raised front lip and hollow core design provide the best, most flexible connection of any system on the market. Allan Block accomplishes a built-in interlock by utilizing the shear strength of the raised front lip at near 2000 pounds per running foot.
Hollow-core design combines with mortar-less construction to allow water to drain freely from behind the wall. The dry-stacked construction technique allows the water to escape by flowing around the blocks; down to the drainage system or out the wall face. This excellent built-in drainage system prevents any major build-up of hydrostatic pressure.
