Feature Story
This is where Elite Precast’s high strength Legato block comes into its own. The standard blocks are cast from high quality 50N/mm2 concrete and are 1.6m x 0.8m x 0.8m, weighing 2400kgs. When designed and installed correctly they can form very large walls to take large loads, including roof canopies on top. The use of double thickness walls at the base allows the walls to take the product loading and impact loading of the operating machinery with ease. With the division walls, a “footblock” is used which creates a very neat detail and is also self-cleaning of material.
The cover for all of this is formed using a steel monopitch frame which is founded to ground externally and to the top of the walls internally and includes a spill flashing at the top of the wall.
