Written by Admin | Oct 14, 2022

Contractors working on Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT) projects can benefit from the durability, cost savings, and speed of installation of Rib Rock™ Landscape Block from County Materials Corporation.

Engineered to meet the demands of even the most challenging MSE applications and modular wall block projects, Rib Rock Landscape Block can easily construct walls from 6 feet to 20 feet high with site-specific engineering. The oversized segmental retaining wall units measure approximately 2’ x 4’ x 2’ and weigh more than 1,800 pounds each. Combined with an interlocking design, their substantial size and weight provide ultimate structural integrity and accelerate the speed of installation by covering more square footage so even small teams can get the job done quickly and affordably.

MSE engineered wall applications may include:

  • Right-of-way restrictions
  • Protection of existing structures that must remain in place
  • Grade separations
  • New highway embankment construction
  • Roadway widening
  • Stabilization of slopes
  • Protection of environmentally sensitive areas
  • Staging
  • Temporary support for excavation and underwater construction
