Created with the environment in mind

Ankora was created out of a desire to construct a modular block retaining wall system that achieved the maximum possible height with the least amount of excavation, reducing installation time, saving money, and minimizing impact to the environment.

Redefining Environmental Excellence

The Ankora Retaining Wall System minimizes environmental impact by reducing excavation, limiting imported fill, utilizing native soils, and eliminating geogrid. It maximizes usable land, retains vegetation, and offers optimal seismic performance.

Going Green

Ankora prides itself on being an environmentally friendly product. By utilizing native backfill and reducing the amount of imported fill, Ankora significantly reduces the carbon emissions produced during construction.

Reduce Your Environmental Footprint

The traditional segmental block retaining wall exceeding 10′ (3.048 m) in height requires the extensive use of soil replacement with geogrid reinforced imported granular backfill.

By minimizing excavation and the trucking required to remove native soil and bring in imported fill, the Ankora Retaining Wall optimizes the environmental sustainability of the retaining wall construction.

More Environmental Benefits

Eliminates Geogrid

The Ankora Retaining Wall eliminates or reduces the necessity for geogrid and accommodates the utilization of active soils, resulting in fewer truck movements on-site. This approach also contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing the introduction of polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyester into the surrounding environment

Save Existing Vegetation

The Ankora Retaining Wall design can save existing vegetation on slopes and hillsides, maximzes the use of usable land and its speed of construction means less time on site.

Minimizing Traffic Impact

When Ankora Retaining Wall is designed along roads and highways, its unique construction process allows traffic to be maintained, minimizing traffic control time on site and a reduction of idling vehicles stopped during construction.

Excellence Seismic Performance

Ankora Retaining Wall provides ductility and over-strength to resist earthquake shaking.
