Contech Bin-wall Retaining Wall System
BIN-WALL RETAINING WALL SYSTEM
BIN-WALLS RETAINING WALLS
Gravity-Type Retaining Walls. Contech Bin-Walls are a system of adjoining closed faced bins that are each 10-feet wide.
INFORMATION
BRAND

PRODUCT TYPE
Retaining Wall System
PROTECT DOCK AREAS
Build breakwaters to protect dock areas from wave action
PROTECTION
Create blast walls for protection at military and industrial sites
STRENGTH WITH FLEXIBILITY
Contech bin-walls gain stability from the weight of the fill material plus the weight of the steel structure itself. But unlike most other types of walls, they are flexible and adjust themselves to minor ground movement without cracking.
ENLARGE
Enlarge grade-separated highway or railway rights-of-way
BINS
Modular closed faced bins
PREVENT EROSION
Preventunder bridge abutments
Contech® Bin-Walls are a system of adjoining closed-faced bins that are each 10-feet wide.
THE BENEFITS OF CONTECH BIN-WALLS
Bin-Walls are easy to install in difficult or restrictive conditions, have a lower initial cost and reduce maintenance expenses. They also have greater strength and stability, are installed without expensive equipment and can be rapidly assembled with unskilled crews.
FLEXIBLE
Flexible gravity retaining wall
HANDLE
Handles minor ground movement
VERSATILITY
Contech bin-walls can be readily adapted for installation on curves by shortening the horizontal stringers as needed to shorten either the front or rear wall face.
APPEARANCE OPTIONS
The rugged modular look and strong horizontal lines of contech bin-walls blend well with most environments.The standard galvanized surface weathers gradually to a softer gray.
CLOSED CONSTRUCTION
All four sides of each contech bin-wall cell are composed of overlapping steel members. Bolted together, they form an integral structure. Because the face of a contech bin-wall is fully enclosed, you are protected against loss of fill material.* this contrasts with crib-type retaining wall construction through which fill material can escape, weakening the structure.
REINFORCED CONCRETE
Reinforced concrete face panels can usually be produced locally with various finishes. Your contech sales engineer can provide you with more information.
COMMERCIAL SITES
Create usable, flat areas on municipal, industrial, and commercial sites that otherwise would be wasted slopes
ENCROACHING SLOPE
Gain right-of-way on highway and railroad projects by either supporting part of the road or holding back an encroaching slope
NO OBSOLESCENCE
Even after years of use at one location, contech bin-walls can be removed for use elsewhere—or they can be easily extended in length to meet changing conditions at the same site.

LIGHTWEIGHT STEEL
They are composed of sturdy, lightweight steel members that are easily bolted together at the job site. Backfilled with reasonable care, they transform the soil mass into an economical gravity-type retaining wall.
PROTECT AGAINST
Protect against shore or bank erosion
WINGWALLS
Provide wingwalls on bridge abutments
LONG SERVICE
Contech bin-walls can withstand temperature variations and effects of ice and snow. Expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes are safely absorbed by the all-steel construction. There is no danger of cracking. Both the galvanized steel and alumizied steel type 2 can be sprayed with field-applied coatings after erection and before backfilling.
DETAIL
They are composed of sturdy, lightweight steel members that are easily bolted together at the job site. Backfilled with reasonable care, they transform the soil mass into an economical gravity-type retaining wall.
Because this unique design allows the Bin-Walls to flex against minor, unforeseen ground movements that might damage or destroy rigid-type walls, they have been recognized worldwide for over 60 years as economical and effective retaining walls. Bin-Walls are easy to install in difficult or restrictive conditions, have a lower initial cost and reduce maintenance expenses.
They also have greater strength and stability, are installed without expensive equipment and can be rapidly assembled with unskilled crews.
APPLICATIONS
BIN-WALL FOR BLAST BERMS
The adjoining, closed-faced, 10’-wide bins of Bin-Wall are composed of sturdy, lightweight steel members that are easily bolted together at the job site, making them ideal for Blast Berm applications.
BIN-WALL FOR EARTH RETENTION AND SLOPE STABILIZATION
Contech Bin-Walls can solve right-of-way problems on grade separation and protect tunnels and bridges as headwalls and wing walls. Contech Bin-Walls offer a lower initial cost, reduced maintenance expenses, and a quick and easy installation method.
