Sloping Hillside Solutions
St. Clare’s Abbey Primary School, Newry
The great benefits of AG’s Anchor Vertica 4° Degree system were demonstrated by a number of retaining walls which formed an integral part of the new £6.3m St. Clare’s Abbey Primary School development in Newry.
The school required 2,500m2 of walling throughout the site so the Vertica 4° Degree product was selected as the perfect choice due to its inherent anti-climb construction, which is designed to prevent falls and injury.
Commissioned for the particular landscape at the school – steep and sloping hillsides – the Vertica walls are constructed using patented, built-in alignment locators and a near vertical rise, resulting in less excavation and land loss.
The interlocking system places each block behind each other on a 4° gradient, securing them in place leaving no space for children’s feet to attempt a climb.
The AG product is unique in being offered with a 4° angle, offering greater safety.
