Engineering
Our in-house Engineering team designs and checks the retaining wall solution we offer against our clients’ structural or aesthetic wishes and requirements, ensuring that a project is feasible in practice. The team uses advanced design and software programs including Scia Engineer, Allplan and Tekla.
Constructors
On large custom projects, our constructors are involved with the request from the start, so that we can immediately include any technical questions in the quotation. Their expertise and knowledge of applicable standards and our production enables us to devise a practical, constructive and cost-effective custom solution. We help our customers think about the best shape, reinforcement and placement of the retaining walls, as well as sustainable material choices and alternative solutions. We conduct extensive construction tests on the retaining walls and can provide a report on request as input for the main constructor or the permit application. Retaining walls are almost always structural building elements that must comply with applicable national and international standards.
Technical draughtsmen
Our technical draughtsmen detail the solution direction we devise into a complete design, enabling us to check the feasibility immediately. We create a complete 3D project design so that the client can easily perform checks and we produce detailed work drawings to implement the project. We draw our rebar nets ourselves and produce them with our rebar machine. This enables us to minimise waste resulting from sizing and cutting losses, for example. The Production department receives a fully detailed drawing for each custom element, including any precast facilities, recesses, unloading and hoisting elements, etc.
Quality
Bosch Beton guarantees the quality of its products. The retaining walls are sustainable, of the highest quality and certified. And we invest in that. We have our own pressure chamber, which we use for extensive tests on the structural strength of our retaining walls. These tests allow us to simulate the lateral and downward pressure in practice and examine the wall’s behaviour and see where potential cracks can occur.
Smart use of materials
Handling materials in a smart way so that we can develop alternative solutions ensures that we make an important contribution to structurally-improved products with a longer service life and a lower carbon footprint.
Our latest projects
Egmond aan Zee Lighthouse Strengthened Sustainably with Retaining Walls
At Vuurtorenplein in Egmond aan Zee, Bosch Beton supplied retaining walls to protect the historic J.C.J. van Speijk Tower and stabilize the surrounding dunes.
Safe charging area for electric trucks thanks to fire-resistant retaining walls
For this project, Bosch Beton supplied precast retaining walls as fire-resistant partitions. The charging area is now protected against fire spread.
Multifunctional terrain fencing as a boundary between two industrial premises
The new terrain fencing serves a double purpose: it not only creates a clear separation between the two company premises, it also makes these premises practically useable for both parties.
Retaining walls create space on slope for logistics traffic
For the expansion of the logistics site of container producer Kleusberg in Wisserhof, engineering firm Brenner opted for retaining walls that create space at a lower level for freight and forklift traffic.
Maximum utilization of logistics site thanks to retaining wall solution
For Hartmann’s new logistics center in Paderborn, construction company IMMIG applied retaining walls as part of the site design.
Retaining walls for secure storage at Remex
For Remex’s new storage site in Hilden, Bosch Beton supplied and installed retaining walls as a functional boundary of the site.
Tight terrain fencing and perpendicular storage wall through inclined placement
Bosch Beton installed a retaining wall of more than 300 metres in length for the redevelopment of the Schmitz Foam Products site in Roermond, the Netherlands.
Retaining walls as basis for versatile outdoor fitness park
The football club Rigtersbleek in Enschede, the Netherlands, contacted Vario Fields to create an outdoor fitness park where young and old could go to exercise.
Mixed farm ready for expanding livestock herd by installing new silage clamps
To be able to realise their future plans, the Siebenaller family in Luxembourg has expanded its roughage storage facility.
Silage clamps a key step in the transformation of the Vorarlberg’s family farm
