Designing retaining wall solutions for you
Land and Minerals Consulting Ltd (LMCL) was formed in 2004 as a geological, geotechnical and surveying consultancy. LMCL, also trading as DroneSurv, specialise in the ‘remote’ acquisition of survey, geological and geotechnical data using its Optech ILRIS long-range highaccuracy LiDAR scanner and its various UAV mounted aerial systems. The company not only has the expertise to acquire the data, but has the experience, software and hardware to process the data into formats required by a wide range of industry standard surveying, geological modelling and geotechnical analysis software. With its software, the company is able to undertake both the analysis and subsequent designs for excavations, embankments, tips and lagoons in both engineering soil materials and rock masses. LMCL was awarded joint runner-up in the Engineering Initiatives category of the Mineral Planning Association’s Health and
Blockwalls manufactures environmentally friendly concrete lego blocks from recycled materials. You can design and build your concrete block flood defence walls using our Virtabloc system. The blocks are 600mm wide x 600mm high x 1800mm long, with shorter lengths available. Patented Virtabloc Rs are ideal for use in flood defence. They are manufactured with ducts cast into them that are set to one side. The offset gives improved structural performance. Rebar is then threaded through the blocks and cement grouted in place. This construction gives the wall greater stability when designed with the correct foundation. Sea walls need to be strong and

capable of taking large sea storm forces. Reinforced concrete lego blocks are ideal for fast track, economical and strong walls. Design life-span is estimated up to 150 years with the correct material specifications. Each project Blockwalls looks at is very different. Blockwalls can help you design your project; the company offers a design and supply service, from simply working out how many blocks you require for your project, to full design including drawings and calculations. The configuration and design of the flood defence depends on the local site criteria. FURTHER INFORMATION Tel: 0800 880 3135
