We have summarised the results in an Infographic on the NPPA website and outlined some objectives in response.

We had some leftovers from our job and ended up with extra material that we cannot return now. The blocks are still in pallets and can be transported easily (using a hiab).

The Firth Keystone Compac® IV is a cutting edge retaining wall system. It offers outstanding structural performance in a space-saving design, perfect for tighter radius curves and corners. The unit's lighter weight and shorter tail design ensures it is easier to handle, making it an installer's favourite.

Near vertical or two battered setback options
Larger units with split face finish
2 x stabilising pin positions per unit provides accurate alignment of each row or unit
Bevelled/Tri-Face or straight face units

Available in 1 colour only Rockface.

11.0 units per m2, 34kg per block, 45 per pallet.

Price is for 1 block - contact us to view and discuss quantities (0211299809)

We also have Fiberglass pins (45 per pack) @ $21.48
www.bunnings.co.nz...

If you need a hand with installation I can organise a resource as well.

Price: $13.12
