The prestressed interlocking 2.0m L-bloc shares all the attributes
of the 1 m L-bloc with the added advantages of taking half
the time to install the same length of wall as it would with
the 1m. This product also allows us to be able to quote very
competitively for long runs of walling. However it must be
noted that a fork lift truck capable of lifting the extra
weight involved and with longer tines must be provided on
site for installation.
Designed in accordance with BS8110 (Parts 1&2)
‘L’ blocs have a prestressed concrete stem. This
provides the advantage of a much lighter unit than than a
conventionally reinforced one with the added benefits of reduced
transport and installation costs.
Manufactured from high strength C60 concrete with minimum
30mm cover to steel, the units provide excellent durability
against most exposure conditions (up to very severe conditions
in accordance with BS 8110).
The units require a suitable concrete foundation
that has been designed by a qualified Engineer to ensure ground
bearing and stability requirements are met. Units are then
lined and levelled and bolted down through the 8 preformed
holes in the base using resin anchors.
A unique tongue and groove joint down each
side prevents misalignment of the walls either during installation
or due to uneven loading. It also provides an ideal joint
detail for sealing should a watertight wall be required.
