Innovation
Economics
Safety
Environment
These four pillars form the foundation of RASBlox.
INNOVATION
RASBlox is a system of stackable “Lego Block” types of concrete block forms which result in solid monolithic structures that:
Standard Block
- are stronger than other stacked block retaining wall systems
- allow a wide range of strength and design choices
- allow post stressing to be easily applied to sections of the structures
- offer the design option to build structures to the strength necessary to meet or exceed the needs of individual projects
- offer a variety of block forms which allow for exceptional design flexibility
- offers exceptional speed of assembly
- allow utility lines to be incorporated into the structure
- allow for the design and production of any radius or sweep of concave or convex bends
- offer flexibility of finishes that imitate natural stone, brick, etc.
- allow for easy casting of designs into the outer face using common industry practices
- offer the design ease of anchoring, using a variety of methods
RASBlox technology is the economical choice
Our containment solutions reduce :
- construction time
- initial engineering/design costs
- the amount of required equipment and systems
- the cost of producing and hauling construction materials
- the cost of added infrastructure
- maintenance costs
- carbon emissions costs
The average Canadian infrastructure project runs 39% over budget and behind schedule by 12 months.

| Zanardi Bridge, Causeway and Rail Expansion | $60.6 million |
SAFETY
Safety is a cornerstone of our technology because safety must be paramount on every job site! RASBlox delivers a safer construction method by reducing the equipment required on a site, by reducing travel time, and by reducing a project’s build time.
- Reduction in overall construction time
- Reduction in crew size
- Reduction in size and amount of equipment needed for construction
- Reduction in need for repair and maintenance
ENVIRONMENT
RASBlox offers the construction industry a viable environmental alternative to the standard construction options employed in today’s industry. Our technology can significantly reduce a project's environmental footprint.
- Reduction in the number of man hours needed to complete a project lowers carbon emissions from travel and other activities
- Reduction in the amount of construction materials required
- Reduction in carbon emissions because of site proximity production of RASBlox systems
