REVOLUTIONARY CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM
AQUACAST W BLOCKS DESIGN CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY , IS BOTH INGENIOUS AND VERSATILE
Aquacast International a company registered in England , Wales and the IOM , has developed and patented a revolutionary construction Technology .
The Aquacast Technology uses a W-shape design interlocking concrete blocks , the prime uses of the w-blocks are retaining walls for a wide range of construction applications .
Example of such applications are , Flood and Sea defence as well as marine harbour and jetty formation , land erosion and reclamation .
The slots in the W-blocks design , forms instant uniformly pitched holes , when reversed in polarity during construction .
These uniformly pitched holes offer a unique option of filling or piling depending on applications requirement .
The blocks interlock by gravitational wight and friction , the uniformly formed holes can be either filed or piled , a useful concept as an alternative method to sheet piling . The unique piling or steel pining option , can be used to support defected weak structures such as sea defence walls , subsided buildings , collapsed roads and halt landslides .
Because of the pre-cast nature and flexibility of this design , combined with that of the latest piling or steel pining technology , precise and accurate location of the units is facilitated . Therefore , time wastage and use of materials is minimised .
