Interlocking Blocks

Interlocking concrete blocks are versatile construction elements available in various designs, such as Duo and Legato.

Manufactured to meet BS EN 1317 standards, these blocks are readily available from our Shropshire works and come in many sizes that enable you to construction walls and storage bays of various sizes.

Our multipurpose blocks are suitable for a wide range of applications including:

• Electric Vehicle Containment Areas: The interlocking blocks are used to contain damaged electric vehicles as required under current legislation or where there is a fire risk.
• Emergency shelters: Blocks can be used for areas where you need to protect high-value assets or machinery.
• Fire Protection: Concrete blocks are fire resistant and can act as a fire break or containment area and can be used within your Fire Protection Plan.
• Flood defence and flood protection: Our blocks keep people and infrastructure safe from flood water as they can be installed as flood defences, ensuring a robust and effective protection system against natural elements.

• Retaining Walls: With different options, we can help find the best solutions for areas at risk of landslips or mudslides and other retaining wall solutions.
• Security: Interlocking concrete blocks can be used as a security solution in areas where you need to prevent unauthorised vehicle access.
• Storage Bays: Blocks can be used to build storage bays for materials, such as grain, grit, sand or salt, scrap metals or as a storage facility for waste or recycling.

Key features and benefits

• Cost-Effective Solutions: Our modular walling systems offer economical and efficient solutions for the challenges faced by stakeholders.
• Comprehensive Services: We offer a complete package of services, from design guidance, quotations, transportation and installation through our approved contractor network.
• Class A1 Fire Classification: Our concrete blocks fall within Class A1 of the Fire Classification EN 13501-1 which means they are non-combustible. They will not burn, crack or give off noxious fumes and can be used within your FPP – Fire Protection Plan.
• Sustainability: Made in the UK to reduce delivery miles and with a design-life of over 100 years, our concrete blocks help with your sustainability goals.
• Technical information: We can provide technical and product information to enable project engineers and estimators to our carry out their necessary checks and incorporate any information needed, including CAD designs, technical data sheets and compliance. certificates.

Advantages

• Easy construction
• Durability and strength
• Fire resistance
• Quick availability
• Affordable option

Our precast concrete interlocking blocks combine practicality with versatility, making them an excellent choice for various construction projects. Our quick delivery and simple installation process contribute to efficient project programme timelines and the robust nature of the blocks ensure long-lasting performance across diverse applications.

External storage bays built using our interlocking blocks are deemed as a temporary structure, and typically do not require planning consent to erect, as they are easy to dismantle and relocate as needed, although we recommend that you should always check with your local authority first.

Installing a temporary structure rather than a permanent one, can result in lower or zero business rates and are generally cheaper to build.

We always recommend that any wall designs are checked by a qualified engineer.
