La Almudena Cemetery, Madrid, Spain
Terraforce retaining wall design and installation by Orbe Medioambiente, with blocks supplied by Prensagra Prefabricados.
In the reclamation of a plot previously filled with waste, retaining walls were necessary to create new horizontal platforms and garden areas for the La Almudena Cemetery in Madrid, Spain.
In total 10 500 Terraforce L12 blocks were installed at the cemetery, resulting in visually striking rock face finish walls. Reinforced with geogrids every second row and stepped outwards at intervals with precise ninety-degree corners, the walls also accommodate gently sloping access ramps and rectangular garden features. To finish off the overall linear look, straight-lined steel rails were set into blocks – filled with concrete for that purpose – and sharp-edged concrete caps set along the top rows of blocks.

ATLANTIC BEACH PADEL COURTS, CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA
Terraforce retaining wall design and installation by Decorton Retaining Systems, with blocks supplied by Cape Retaining Systems / Klapmuts Concrete.
August 2023, Decorton Retaining Walls, Terraforce recommended contractor, Western Cape, commenced construction on several terraced and undulating rock face finish retaining walls, as well as Terraforce 4×4 Step block access stairs and wide staircases wrapping parts of the courts.
The walls were required to lower the padel court to the same level as the clubhouse, to help reduce wind damage and to beautify the whole area. The client, Atlantic Beach Estate, was looking for a rustic appearance and ultimately chose the Terraforce® L12 rock face finish.
