RTU core products. Its Allan Block dry-build retaining wall systems are BBA-certified and manufactured under licence from the global leader in segmental retaining wall technology. Engineered for strength, speed and sustainability, these systems are suitable for a wide range of applications, from garden walls to critical infrastructure. In addition, Colinwell’ s architectural masonry comes in split, smooth, and shotblasted finishes, with 16 colour options and a paint-grade block, providing both design flexibility and lasting performance.
