Selecting 50MPa concrete sleepers for your project.
They are designed to combat the unique challenges posed by Australia’s diverse climate, from heavy rains to intense sun, ensuring your retaining wall remains strong and stable for 40+ years. Additionally, 50MPa concrete sleepers are resistant to cracking, erosion, and termites, providing a long-lasting, low-maintenance option for any landscaping or construction project. Choose concrete sleepers to build a reliable, high-quality retaining wall that enhances both the functionality and aesthetic of your outdoor space.
50MPa concrete sleepers with 2xN10 reinforcement bars is an excellent option for domestic walls or when needing to achieve retaining walls that require engineering and building permits.
As a rule of thumb the thicker the sleeper and reinforcement bars the higher you can build a wall.
Key Considerations for Building a Retaining Wall with Concrete Sleepers
- Height: Ensure your retaining wall is designed to accommodate the necessary height, typically starting from 800mm and above.
- Type: Decide whether you want a straight or curved wall, as this will influence the materials and construction approach.
- Build Location: Identify whether the wall will be constructed along a boundary or in an open space, as this affects legal and structural requirements.
Steel Beam Compatibility
It’s crucial to select the right steel beams (Universal Column) to ensure the stability and longevity of your retaining wall.
- For 80mm Thick Concrete Sleepers: Use 100UC beams to ensure a proper fit and support.
- For 100mm Thick Concrete Sleepers: Opt for 150 UC beams to accommodate the thicker sleepers securely.
Important Tips
- Thickness Matters: The thickness of your concrete sleepers directly affects the type of steel beams needed. Be precise in your measurements to avoid structural issues.
- Quality of Sleepers and Beams: Use high-quality materials to prevent premature wear and tear. This will save you money and effort in the long run.
General Advice
- Consult a Professional: Always consult with a structural engineer or a qualified builder to ensure your design meets local building codes and safety standards.
- Drainage: Proper drainage is essential to prevent water build-up behind the wall, which can lead to failure.
By keeping these factors in mind, you’ll be well-equipped to plan and build a durable and effective retaining wall with concrete sleepers.
