Advantages
MagnumStone Saves You Time And Money
MangumStone™ is a large wet-cast retaining wall system, cleverly engineered with a hollow core. Its hollow design uses nearly half the concrete of a solid system while maintaining all of its strength and durability. The environmental and economical advantages of the MagnumStone™ system are unprecedented in our industry.
Green Advantages
MagnumStone uses 40% less concrete than traditional solid wall systems. By requiring less concrete in block production, improving transportation efficiency, expediting installation processes and offering plantable wall designs, our system provides more sustainable construction options and significantly reduces CO2 emissions.
The hollow core MagnumStone system is designed to take excess concrete out of the center of the unit, yet maintain the same strength with more design flexibility. This also provides internal vertical permeability value to the wall structure for enhanced durability.
Raw materials use energy which can
cause water pollution and air emission problems, leading factors that make concrete unfriendly to our environment. We cannot avoid using concrete, but together, we can find complementary applications and more earth friendly solutions.
Production Advantages
The MagnumStone system allows production facilities to maximize output while reducing their carbon footprint. This hollow core block design means less concrete to pour, making units lighter for handling purposes and reducing the amount of cement required per block. Both of these factors translate into cost savings and a significant reduction in harmful greenhouse gas emissions (nearly 40%) when compared to solid concrete systems.
Installation Advantages
The MagnumStone™ 8 sq ft face blocks are light enough to be moved on site in pairs of 16 sq ft with a standard bobcat. The large hollow core MagnumStone™ units can be installed quickly, to create curves and tight corners, with smaller equipment and less labor. MagnumStone™ was designed for the end user by providing many options for solving nearly any wall problem contractors encounter.
Design Advantages
MagnumStone’s large vertical and horizontal cores offer wall designers flexible, creative solutions without costly environmental side-effects. The aesthetically pleasing plantable terraces maximize green space and reduce the heat island effect, common among concrete surfaces.
The blocks’ unique internal drainage system, ease of installation, and top of wall details makes it the prime choice for greener and more efficient wall solutions.
Permeability
The ability for water to flow freely through MagnumStone’s vertical and horizontal hollow cores.
Plantable Terrace
MagnumStone’s hollow cores provide the perfect planting pocket for a variety of plants and shrubs.
