Retaining/Segmental block walls
Retaining SolutionsSegmental block retaining walls for structural and aesthetic sites
Fencepac designs and constructs modular concrete block retaining walls using a dry-stack interlocking system — from smaller walls to major infrastructure, with geogrid reinforcement where the height and load require it.
Modular blocks when the wall has to look finished and still carry load
Segmental block walls are modular concrete block retaining walls using a dry-stack interlocking system. They suit both structural and aesthetic applications, with a range of face textures and geogrid reinforcement where the design needs it.
At Holmview Central we designed and constructed a 7m-high reinforced earth masonry wall for shopping-centre access, including geotechnical investigation and detailed design for heavy vehicle loads. Field of Dreams at Swanbank is a full masonry segmental earth-reinforced wall engineered for a 60KPa surcharge.
Currell Circuit in Samford Valley is a reinforced earth Keystone Elite masonry retaining wall — approximately 90m long and up to 3.5m high — built to remediate a slope failure. Noosa is a modular segmental block wall with geogrid reinforcement on the Sunshine Coast.

When segmental block walls are specified
Segmental block systems we install
Block type, face texture, and geogrid are set to height, surcharge, and finish.
Dry-Stack Interlocking Blocks
Modular concrete blocks laid as a dry-stack interlocking system for structural and aesthetic walls.
Geogrid-Reinforced Segmental Walls
Segmental masonry with geogrid reinforcement for taller walls and heavier surcharge — including Holmview and Swanbank.
Keystone Elite Masonry
Reinforced earth Keystone Elite masonry as delivered at Currell Circuit, Samford Valley.
Face Texture Options
A range of face textures so the wall can complement the surrounding development rather than read as a raw structure.
Heavy Surcharge Design
Walls engineered for heavy buildings and vehicles — Swanbank was designed for a 60KPa load.
Design & Construct
Geotechnical investigation, AS4678 design, construction, and certification by Fencepac crews.
Segmental block projects we have delivered
Published Fencepac segmental and masonry retaining work.

Frequently asked questions — Segmental block walls
A segmental block wall is a modular concrete block retaining wall using a dry-stack interlocking system. Fencepac installs these walls with geogrid reinforcement where height and load require it, for both structural and aesthetic applications.
Fencepac can design and construct retaining walls up to 20 metres high, subject to the system, loads, and geotechnical data. Holmview Central is a published 7m-high reinforced earth masonry wall.
Taller walls and heavier surcharge typically use geogrid reinforcement in engineered fill. Swanbank was a full masonry segmental earth-reinforced wall designed for a 60KPa load. We design each wall to AS4678 for the site.
Yes. Fencepac offers budget estimates and preliminary retaining wall concepts for early works submissions, including indicative rates by wall type or height and simple preliminary sections.
