Product catalog summary

Overview: This document details K-Block products, which are precast concrete blocks designed for retaining wall projects. These blocks aim to reduce installation time and labor costs while ensuring safety, durability, and aesthetics.

Specifications: K-Blocks are available in various sizes and weights, including options like Earth Blend and Granite Blend. Sizes range from 6 SF to 3 SF blocks, with specific dimensions and weights detailed for each type.

Color Options: Available colors include Granite Blend and Earth Blend. It is recommended to request actual samples for accurate color selection as the colors shown are representative.

Design Tables: The document provides landscape wall design tables for different load cases, such as level backfill, parking lot surcharge, and sloping backfill. These tables guide the arrangement of K-Block units based on wall height and backfill type, considering safety factors for sliding and overturning.

Installation Guidance: Instructions are included for the placement and alignment of K wall units, especially for setback walls using K44 and K28 units. Visual aids are provided to illustrate the correct positioning of these units.
