Retaining Walls and Earth Support
Modular Concrete Solutions for Ground Retention and Support.
Legato® interlocking wall systems from Elite Precast provide a robust, adaptable solution for constructing retaining walls and earth support structures. Manufactured in the UK from high-quality precast concrete, Legato blocks are designed to deliver mass, stability and long-term durability for projects where ground retention, level changes and soil containment are required.
The dry-stack, mortar-free system allows walls to be installed efficiently, making Legato® interlocking walls suitable for both temporary and permanent earth support applications.
Key Applications
Retaining Wall Applications
Legato interlocking walls are commonly used to form gravity retaining walls, where the mass of the concrete blocks provides resistance to lateral earth pressures. Typical applications include:
Level changes within industrial and commercial sites
Yard, depot and compound retaining walls
Landscaping and civil engineering projects
Boundary and perimeter earth retention
Infrastructure and highways support works
The modular nature of the system allows walls to be configured to suit site constraints and design requirements.
Earth Support Solutions
For earth support applications, Legato interlocking walls offer a practical alternative to in-situ concrete or masonry construction. Common uses include:
Temporary earth retention during phased works
Permanent soil containment structures
Embankment and slope support
Cut-and-fill support walls
Segregation between operational levels
Walls can be installed quickly with minimal disruption, making them suitable for sites with restricted access or tight programmes.
Suitable Sectors and Environments
Legato retaining and earth support walls are suitable for use across:
Industrial and commercial developments
Infrastructure and civil engineering projects
Public sector and local authority works
Waste, recycling and material handling sites
Agricultural and rural developments

Benefits
Key Benefits of Legato Interlocking Walls
High Mass and Stability
Precast concrete blocks provide the weight required for effective gravity retaining wall performance.
Modular and Adaptable
Walls can be extended, reconfigured or dismantled as site layouts or ground conditions change.
Rapid Installation
Dry-stack construction allows fast build times without curing delays.
Reduced Groundworks
In many cases, installation can be achieved on a suitably prepared foundation, reducing excavation and programme impact.
Durable and Low Maintenance
Concrete construction ensures long service life in demanding ground and environmental conditions.
Engineered for Your Environment
Design Considerations
Retaining walls and earth support structures should be designed to suit site-specific conditions, including ground type, loading and drainage requirements. Elite Precast can support early-stage discussions to help determine suitable Legato wall configurations in line with project needs.
