250UB25 is the deep, economical option for taller sleeper retaining walls. At 248 mm deep it delivers a large section modulus about its major axis while weighing barely 26 kilograms per metre. On a long wall that difference shows up in both the steel invoice and the handling plant you need on site. The catch […]
200UB18 is one of the most cost-effective retaining wall posts on the market. At just over 18 kilograms per metre it is light enough for two people to place by hand, but 200 mm deep, which gives it real bending strength for low and mid-height sleeper walls. The trade-off is a narrower flange than a […]
Ask for retaining wall posts anywhere in Victoria and you will be quoted “galvanised H section”. It is the default for sleeper walls for good reason, but the term covers several different steel profiles with quite different capacities. Knowing which one you are actually buying protects you from both over-spending and under-building. Why the H […]
When a retaining wall gets taller than about 1.2 metres, or the ground behind it carries a driveway, pool surround or building load, a light post simply will not do the job. The 200UC universal column is the size most Victorian engineers reach for at that point — strong enough for serious retained heights, yet […]
If you’re planning a retaining wall project, you’ve likely come across the term steel H beams — but what exactly are they, and how do you choose the right one? The H beam (or H section) is the workhorse of retaining wall construction, providing the vertical structural support that holds sleepers in place and resists […]
When retaining walls need to hold back serious earth pressure — heights over 1.2 metres, heavy surcharge loads, or challenging soil conditions — structural engineers reach for the 250UC. As the heaviest commonly used Universal Column section in retaining wall construction, the 250UC provides the bending strength and rigidity needed for walls that lighter sections […]
