- Secura Grand - No Fines Concrete Backfill Wall
Where there is insufficient space behind the wall to construct a Geogrid Reinforced Retaining wall, the preferred solution is to construct a concrete backfilled retaining wall.
The method involves filling the voids in the blocks and the area behind the blocks and the excavated earth with structural backfill material (concrete).
The concrete backfill creates a large structural mass behind the wall and connects to the Secura blocks. This method of construction greatly reduces the amount of excavation required on-site and also facilitates the draining.
*Please Note 2:32min, Lay 4 Courses of Secura Blocks

Thank you for this one! Rarely excellently explained, so that even those with no knowledge like myself can understand the concept of retaining walls.
What is the maximum height can we go with this type of Retaining Wall ? I have 6-8 foot sloped hill on backyard.
Amazing and very interesting video🎥... Super like👌👌👌.. Great information and very helpful
Do keep posting
Warm regards and best wishes

Can you use this retaining wall as a dwarf wall for a conservatory?
how about geogrid or anchors?
it says in a description this method is used when there is no sufficient space for a geo grid behind a back wall. remember rule of thump for a 10 ft tall wall u need 10 ft geo grid behind a wall. same goes for a deadsmans (anchors) they need to extend deep into the ground behind a wall to hold the wall suffeciently.
That's a lot of concrete backfill. Why not just pour a bunch of concrete and put a facad on it? Save money on block & labor...
There are no steel reinforcements in the blocks and behind the wall. There are no forms to build the concrete wall. You need waterproofing on the concrete wall side and then gravel on top of the drain pipe. So actually a few additional steps and much more materials are needed.
This isn't a basement so you don't want waterproofing. You want the water to naturally pass through the retaining wall to avoid having water be there during freezing conditions which would cause ice to expand and break down the structure.

Do Not follow this... Putting concrete behind the wall is a terrible idea. First and foremost, the soil would never be able to support this amount of weight. Secondly, this type of block wall is designed to allow water to weep through the joints not seal it. Thirdly, since the water won’t be able to weep, when you go through a freeze - thaw cycle, the top of the wall will push out and make the wall fail.
the closest you have ever been to building is a screen on a computer?
what soil cannot handle the weight a column of concrete a couple of yards high? quicksand?
a wall of solid concrete, what water won't be able to weep?
solid concrete = no water
@@janvanruth3485 It’s painfully obvious that you don’t have ANY construction knowledge, so let me give you some insight.
My knowledge was gained by working with engineers and actually DOING the work.
1) What soil couldn’t handle it? After fixing maybe 10,000 foundations as a contractor I would say it happens often. Have you never seen a failed retaining wall, cracked foundation or concrete slab?
2) Weep? It’s obvious that you don’t understand the concept. You stated solid concrete = no weep. You WANT the wall to weep. If a wall doesn’t weep then hydrostatic pressure will build and push the wall. When a wall is designed to weep it allows water to pass through it so that pressure doesn’t build behind it.
If you want to have an understanding of an issue don’t attack, ask questions. As a contractor clients contact me to consult on projects. It’s obvious that you have logged too many hours looking at the screen in front of you...
@@stephenc2296 weep?
And what do you think the drainage pipe was for?
10000?
one a day, 5 days a week, for 40 years?

Solid walls do incorporate drainage pipe, this did not. Even if drainage pipe is installed, that doesn’t say that all moisture got to the pipe. Any moisture in the local soil will freeze and push a wall. I am not saying that a solid wall can’t be used... but there are greater parameters for installation which are not addressed here.
