Walling Systems – Concrete Retaining Wall

I was engaged by Smartstream Technology to provide the Structural Engineering Design for a 285 metre long section of Noise Wall at the Cedar Woods residential development, Millars Landing in Baldivis, as required byMain Roads Western Australia. The first stage of the wall,located just north west of the Mitchell Freeway/Kulija Roadinterchange was installed in late 2020.

The ‘StoneTree’ reinforced precast concrete walling system was specified for this project, with the manufacturing machine being purchased by Smartstream Technology from their US supplier. The system is ideal for noise barriers, feature and boundary walls as well as retaining walls. It provides for the addition of moulded aesthetic surface designs with a major increase in efficiency, both in production and field installation, with an average of 300 metres of wall able to be installed inside a week.

I have no hesitation in recommending and specifying this walling system for my clients’ projects.

Cedar Woods decided to implement the new Smartstream Technology StoneTree precast concrete wall system at our Millars Landing project in Baldivis, for a noise wall which will ultimately extend for over two kilometres along the Kwinana Freeway.

The system was selected due to its benefits in terms of cost and time efficiency in comparison to the other available options. The ability to incorporate our project branding into the finished product was also a great bonus.
