Reaching new heights

Techo-Bloc manufactures our products to exceed all industry specifications.

There’s a lot of lab testing and quality control measures that goes into it.

At Contractor Showcase, we showed our audience how our blocks are made and tested, so they could witness first-hand how we achieve the highest level of quality and how that impacts the long-term performance of their projects.

Our newest addition is the only big-block SRW system that conforms to ASTM C1372, the industry's only standard for segmental retaining wall units.

Introducing Skyscraper. Go big or go home!

Our largest wall block ever weighs half a ton!

Its width, depth, weight, and setback grant it superior gravity wall capabilities and available extender units increase the wall mass, opening the door to incredible heights without grid reinforcement. The system's units can also be assembled in a near-vertical or setback position providing greater versatility.

The Skyscraper units are laid mechanically with Techo-Bloc's proprietary lifting tool, providing incredible productivity on site while limiting workforce fatigue and increasing safety.

For a little perspective, here are the units and their respective weights:

Here’s an example of how they can be stacked:

Perfect for residential and commercial projects, Skyscraper is covered by the Techo-Bloc warranty.
