Gravity Wall Systems are the premier gravity mass block manufacturing company in Australia. In the past Gabion Baskets, Gabion Mattresses and Geo textiles were used for weir construction, retaining walls, and decorative facades. However, Gravity Wall Systems have been able to replace this outdated technology with Gravity products such as Gravity Blocks and Gravity Mattresses, which have the bonus of being a faster application. These can be effectively utilized in a number of environmentally sensitive terrestrial, marine and freshwater locations; are aesthetically pleasing; have design flexibility, and are extremely permeable, cost effective, and long lasting. They are the obvious choice for any commercial or government project and can be used in some domestic situations.

There are some obvious reasons to choose Gravity Wall Systems. These include: time and money saving installation, labor efficiency, long term solution, 100 year design life, easy installation, design flexibility, no maintenance, easily transportable, environmentally safe option, and not affected by fire, acid, water or petroleum. The system can tolerate movement and settlement without causing visual distress at the face because Gravity Block walls are relatively flexible structures.

Gravity components are manufactured from wet-cast concrete, resulting in a very durable retaining wall system. The blocks are resistant to cracking and do not splinter or decay like treated timbers. The blocks contain no steel reinforcement and have no exposed wires to corrode like the old fashioned Gabion cage system. Two experienced workers with an excavator can place up to 80m2 of wall per day. Blocks are easily lifted and placed using the galvanized Swift Lift Anchor cast into the top of each block. Using this system, the entire retaining wall system can be built in a fraction of the time required by many other systems.

If required, Gravity Wall Systems can provide a suggested design service as part of the Gravity System package, but please note it is not an engineer’s design service. All Gravity Block porous concrete Mass Block walls need to comply with Local Council Regulations and for this reason may need a design specific to each site prepared by a registered engineer. However, this requirement will apply to any system and the Gravity system is competitively priced when all project costs are taken into account, including installation time, traffic control, durability and in-place performance.

Gravity Wall Systems have applications including Mass gravity walls, Bridge abutments, Stream channels, Storm water retention basins, Sediment basins, Canal Revetment walls, Riverine walls, Revetments, Land slip rehabilitation, River bank stabilization, Wing walls, Eco sensitive light traffic areas, Wet area pedestrian paths, and Scour Control.
