Double wall manufacture is based on an automatic production system, therefore overall lengths and prescribed reinforcement is always exact.

Perfectly smooth surface on both faces is achieved during the manufacturing process which can be painted directly onto.

Total wall widths up to 400mm can be achieved.

Double walls can be used as standard cantilever retaining walls or more commonly, propped cantilever retaining walls depending on design requirements, making them ideal for basement retaining walls.

Up to 16mm diameter reinforcement in both faces of wall can be catered for.

Walls can be used as shear walls within a multistory building if required.

Walls are designed as key elements within a multistory building.

All electrical socket outlets and conduits can be cast into the wall panels, conforming to BS standards and compatibility.

Fully concreted connections at the end of the precast double walls provide the required 50db sound rating.

Because of the reduced overall width of precast section, (max 150mm), wall length can be increased up to 12m while keeping wall weights to a minimum thus reducing the requirement for large crane capacities on site.

Vertical ties are easily catered for on site because of the initial hollow infill section between the precast wall sections, thus increasing the tolerance on starter bars cast into insitu foundations etc.

All electrical socket outlets and conduits can be cast into both faces of the wall panel, conforming to BS standards, and compatibility.

M16 sockets are pre-cast into panel face to take diagonal push pull props on site thus increasing erection speed and reducing damage to panel on site.

Continuity between insitu structural concrete, (i.e. main reinforced items or structural screeds on precast slabs), and the precast wall, is easily achieved with the double wall, and provides an almost monolithic connection, at the wall extremities.

Additional mesh or light cage reinforcement is provided within the double wall, at all vertical joint connections providing a more stable and rigid structure.
