Temporary Works and Demountable Structures

Temporary Works and Demountable Structures

Flexible, Modular Solutions for Construction and Civil Projects.

Legato® interlocking concrete blocks from Elite Precast offer a fast, reliable and reusable solution for temporary works and demountable structures across construction, civil engineering and infrastructure projects. Manufactured in the UK from high-quality precast concrete, Legato blocks are designed to provide structural stability, durability, and adaptability where temporary walls, storage bays or barriers are required.

The modular, dry-stack design allows structures to be installed quickly without mortar, making them ideal for short-term use, phased projects and sites with tight schedules.

Key Applications

Temporary Works Applications

Legato interlocking walls are widely used for temporary construction purposes, including:

  • Temporary retaining and containment walls

  • Site storage and segregation areas

  • Access and boundary walls

  • Earth support and temporary embankments

  • Asset and plant protection zones

The interlocking design ensures stability while allowing easy dismantling and relocation as site requirements evolve.

Demountable Structure Applications

For projects that require flexible and reusable structures, Legato blocks offer a practical solution. Common uses include:

  • Temporary workshop and compound walls

  • Reconfigurable storage bays and material segregation areas

  • Demountable barriers for site safety and security

  • Temporary environmental or flood protection walls

  • Phased or evolving infrastructure construction

The system allows rapid deployment with minimal groundworks, reducing programme delays and site disruption.

Suitable Sectors and Environments

Legato temporary and demountable structures are suitable for:

  • Construction sites and contractor depots

  • Civil engineering and infrastructure projects

  • Rail, highways, and utility works

  • Industrial and logistics facilities

  • Event sites or temporary public sector installations

The blocks are designed to withstand repeated use in outdoor and industrial environments.

Dry-stack construction eliminates the need for mortar and curing, enabling rapid build and dismantle cycles.

Modular and Reusable

Blocks can be dismantled and reinstalled elsewhere on the same site or future projects, reducing material costs.

Stable and Durable

High-mass precast concrete blocks provide excellent resistance to impact, wind and operational loads.

Minimal Groundworks

Installation typically requires only a level hardstanding, reducing excavation and disruption.

Safe and Compliant

Blocks can be configured to meet temporary works design requirements, supporting health and safety on site.

Engineered for Your Environment

⚠️ Important: All Legato® block temporary works and demountable structures must be checked and approved by a qualified structural engineer prior to installation.
