The CornerStone Difference..
The Installation Advantage! CornerStone blocks are hollow core units that combine durable, precast concrete with ease of installation. Large core, unique connecting lugs, and tapered sides allow maximum flexibility during construction while maintaining high structural integrity. When stacked and filled with gravel, the CornerStone units interlock, providing shear resistance, excellent connection strength to geosynthetic reinforcement (where required) and maximum layout versatility.

Segmental retaining wall (SRW) systems have exhibited proven field performance, and are attractive, durable and economical structures. CornerStone has been thoroughly tested for connection and shear strength in accordance with the design methodology promoted by the National Concrete Masonry Association (NCMA). Unique connecting lugs contained gravel infill, and the combination of mass and geosynthetic reinforcement promote a strong, long lasting wall.

| Gravity systems are lower walls that use the CornerStone unit weight combined with gravel core infill to resist earth pressure behind the wall. The batter or setback of the CornerStone wall increases the stability. | ||||||||||||||||||

| To create a reinforced wall system, geosynthetics are used. CornerStone walls over 4 feet (1.3 M) tall have active pressures. Parking lots, roadways, or positive slopes above walls need reinforcement to help resist increased pressure behind the wall. Geosynthetics used with the appropriate lengths, layers and compacted backfill, and compacted backfill materials will resist active forces above and behind the wall | ||||||||||||||||||

| If standard construction methods are inadequate for unusual site conditions, the CornerStone unique hollow core system allows for masonry reinforcement. Concrete footings are poured with vertical and horizontal steel reinforcement placed in the concrete-filled CornerStone hollow cores to strengthen the wall, and help resist pressure from soil behind the wall. | ||||||||||||||||||
