Wall-a-Palooza
About the Event
This event was created for engineers and landscape architects, although everyone is welcome. We will explore various solutions for segmental retaining walls (SRW), including design, aesthetics, and engineering. SRWs are versatile and can be tailored for various applications, ranging from small decorative residential walls to robust structures for floodwater control. Using SRWs allows for a gratifying design without compromising aesthetics or structural integrity. A notable structural advantage lies in the built-in tongue and groove system, eliminating the need for plastic pins to secure the units. Additionally, Unilock’s SRWs consist of solid block units, offering superior strength compared to hollow block walls. Attending this event will provide a competitive advantage for site engineering solutions. Lunch will be provided. Attendance to VespaRS software is optional. Plant tours will be available
