PSS Wall Sections & Construction Method

The PSS Retaining Wall Section is a pre-cast concrete unit designed to permit the construction of vibrated concrete walls without the need for conventional shuttering.

The PSS Wall Sections are laid on a suitable mortar bed in a traditional block fashion. Reinforcement, vertical and horizontal bars, is fixed as the wall is built.

Finally, concrete is poured into the cavity and vibrated around the steel reinforcement. The wall depth can be varied according to the depth and specification; the wall sections come in a choice of either 230mm or 330mm width.

Footing Blocks

The footing blocks are designed to support the pool/basement or structural wall, prior to concreting taking place.

Swimming Pool Shell

Designed for Flexibility

The PSS System is designed to provide support for the superstructure of a swimming pool building. The enclosure can be erected on top of the pool wall to save space in the pool building and reduce building costs.

Also, surround beam and block floors can be supported on the back of the PSS pool shell. A shaped pool can be constructed to a minimum radius of 1m. The walls can be cut to form a sloping floor from shallow to deep end
