CBS Agricultural retaining wall range
CBS Agricultural retaining walls are all manufactured to the highest standards using a c60/75 grade self-compacting
concrete mix and offer many advantages compared to rival systems.
BS Freestanding
grain walls provide
a low cost and
flexible retaining
wall solution to suit
your needs. CBS
Grain walls can take a full load at
one side without any extra
support, allowing for maximum
storage capabilities. Should your
requirements in the future change
the units can be easily moved to a
more suitable position without the
need for any costly foundations or
groundworks.
The advantage of the
Interlocking element in the
freestanding grain wall system is
the firm connection formed
between units, the interlocking
joint means that there are no small
gaps between the units once they
are in place. This means that in
most cases the walls require no
sealants to prevent your stored
products from seeping through
those annoying little gaps.
Another advantage of the
interlocking joints is that forming a
true straight run of units is a simple
and easy affair as the units guide
themselves in to position. The
safety of the wall is always of the

upmost importance and the
interlocking feature helps in the
stability of freestanding walls that
have no fixings to foundations.
CBS Silage clamp Agri walls
The Agri wall system is a unique
silage clamp retaining wall system
that is designed to form silage
clamps and storage b ays. The Agri
retaining wall system is unique in
the UK due to the fact that the
units are available in lengths
between 2 to 5 meters. The units
are designed so that in standard
silage clamp applications they do
not require any bolting/ fixing
down to foundations. This means
that you have a silage clamp
system that is easy and fast to
install, our installation team can
install on average 100 linear
meters per day, allowing for huge
cost savings to be made.
The Agri system is available in L
walls designed to be used at the
perimeter and therefore bear a
load on one side with T walls or U
walls as the partition walls bearing
a load on both sides. The U wall is
designed to then be filled with
aggregates, forming a safe
working platform between clamps.
CBS Earth Bank Clamp system
CBS have developed a version
of the “Traunsteiner silo”. This is a
silage clamp with sloping walls
leaning against an earth bank. This
silage clamp system forms a safe
working platform at the perimeter
of the entire clamp.
When compacting the silage
(usually maize) the compacting
machine can be driven directly up
to the wall, allowing an increase in
compaction and a decrease in
energy losses from the silage.
CBS Concrete Products have a
high manufacturing capabilities as
well as a large stock capacity, this
means that we can provide very
quick lead times.
