GS2Â Applications
The unique combination of speed and strength makes GS2 a perfect masonry block for numerous applications. In particular, we’ve seen success in the following construction types:
Sound Walls
Retaining Walls
Building Foundations
Bio-Retention
Other Structures
Retaining Walls
The following projects were completed by our partnering contractors. For more specific information about these projects please contact us.
Residential Subdivision
This multi-stage project for a residential subdivision in Lafayette, California includes the installation of retaining walls, sound walls, bio-retention walls, and bioswales. As part of a hillside residential development, construction here has its own distinctive challenges including infrastructure confinements, property line constraints, large amounts of off-haul.
A non-traditional approach using helical piles underneath GS2 block, combined with Geowall allowed for stable construction even on sloped, wet ground and created a minimum of soil displacement and off-haul.
Sound Walls
The following projects were completed by our partnering contractors. For more specific information about these projects please contact us.
Residential Development
To plan and execute the most cost-efficient approach to this construction, our team used our extensive product knowledge to value engineer it—helping to drastically save on construction costs.
Bio-retention
The following projects were completed by our partnering contractors. For more specific information about these projects please contact us.
Residential Development Bioswales
This site was built with both site walls and large capacity bio-retention walls. The team approached design and construction by maximizing all available cost advantages while maintaining maximum structural stability. GS2 Block made it possible to consider all potential options for this project and choose the best, fastest, and sturdiest approach.Â
