Stepoc is Ibstock’s industry-leading dry laid precast concrete block retaining wall system. Stepoc blocks are hollow, which allows for reinforcement bars to be inserted and for concrete to be pumped down through the inter-connected cavities in the blocks, creating a cascade or waterfall effect which ensures a smooth filling of the pumped concrete, forcing out air and eliminating segregation, to create walls which have immense compressive and lateral strength.
This strength and durability makes Stepoc the ideal solution for a host of settings. Increasingly, Stepoc is being specified as retaining wall systems for basement projects across both retrofit and new build developments.
The benefits of Stepoc for basements are clear. Not only does the system boast impressive strength and reliability, it is easy to install, too, requiring fewer skilled labourers. This doesn’t just speed up construction time, it also delivers cost savings of up to 30% across the entire project.
