Legato® blocks installed for maximum space

When main contractors, Winvic needed to install a large retaining wall, as part of their development of a multi-million 310,000ft² Prologis distribution centre in Dunstable, it was Elite Precast Concrete they turned too.

 

The project consisted of over a thousand 2,400kg Legato® interlocking concrete blocks installed to create a 220m-long by 5m-high retaining wall at the new facility and the Elite block system was chosen as they provided a quicker, space saving and overall better value solution than the gabion baskets that had originally been specified.

Sub-contractors, PNR Construction took delivery of the Legato® blocks, prepared the groundworks and built the wall over a 10-day period.

 

Scott McDermott at Winvic commented, “The construction project was particularly time sensitive and the Legato blocks were the perfect option, not least because they could be delivered and installed within a very short period of time.”

 

He went on to say “Due to the speed of the build, the site excavation was only accessible for a limited time frame, so the easy installation of the blocks was a huge safety advantage. The streamline collaboration between Elite Precast Concrete and PNR Construction was a huge benefit.”

 

 

Elite’s Sales and Marketing Director explained “We were delighted to support both Winvic and PNR with this project and that we were able to offer a suitable solution to aid the project’s fast turnaround requirement.”

 

“Our blocks are all stock items, ensuring an instant response and a quick and hassle-free installation. The Legato blocks are ideal for constructing retaining walls and incorporate their own cast-in lifting pin which means they are extremely quick and safe to install.”
