RETAINING WALL SYSTEMS
Precast concrete retaining wall systems combining structural steel posts and concrete panels to deliver efficient, versatile and cost-effective earth retention solutions for civil construction projects.
CONCRETE PANEL & STEEL POST WALLS
Fast Installation. Flexible Design. Reliable Performance.
Urbanscapes designs, manufactures and installs precast concrete panel retaining wall systems for civil construction, industrial developments and residential subdivisions.
Combining precast concrete panels with structural steel posts, the system provides an efficient solution for retaining soil and managing changes in ground levels across a wide range of site conditions.
With multiple panel textures, finishes and configurations available, we deliver practical retaining solutions to suit project requirements, budgets and surrounding environments.
We offer both complete supply and installation packages and supply-only options for contractors undertaking their own installation.
Discuss Your Concrete Panel Retaining Wall Project
Precast concrete panel retaining walls are formed by placing concrete panels between structural steel posts. The posts support the panels, while the panels form the retaining face that holds back the retained soil.
The steel posts are installed into foundations, and concrete panels are positioned between the posts to form the wall. This construction method allows retaining walls to be assembled using manufactured concrete components rather than forming and pouring the entire retaining face on site.
PRECAST CONCRETE PANEL RANGE
Urbanscapes offers a selection of concrete panel textures and finishes to suit different project requirements and architectural styles. Woodgrain panels replicate the appearance of timber; splitface panels have a more pronounced split-masonry surface; block finishes complement surrounding blockwork; and stackstone finishes create the appearance of stacked stone.
The available panel profiles, textures and finishes can be discussed with Urbanscapes during project planning.
Bring a natural timber-inspired appearance to your retaining wall with our Woodgrain panels. The textured finish combines the look of timber with the durability of precast concrete, making it suitable for a range of civil, commercial and residential applications.

Our Splitface panels feature a distinctive, textured surface that creates depth and visual interest. Available in neutral and earthy tones, this finish suits projects requiring a strong architectural appearance.

Achieve the appearance of a block-faced retaining wall with our Block finish panels. The defined block pattern provides a clean, structured look and can complement surrounding masonry or dry-stack blockwork.

Our Stackstone panels recreate the natural appearance of stacked stone, adding texture and character to retaining walls. This finish offers a traditional stone-inspired look using precast concrete panels.

Our sandstone log retaining walls feature a concealed post system, creating a seamless, natural stone appearance without visible steel posts between the panels. Unlike conventional post and concrete panel walls, the steel posts are hidden from view, allowing the sandstone logs to create a continuous, solid-looking retaining wall.
Our Sandstone Log panels replicate the appearance of traditional large sandstone log retaining walls using precast concrete. They offer an alternative to handling individual one-tonne sandstone logs, with potential advantages for construction efficiency and space utilisation on suitable projects.

PAINTED & LACQUERED OPTIONS
We offer a range of finishes to customise your post and concrete panel retaining wall to suit your project and design preferences.
Our concrete panels can be painted in a colour of your choice or finished with a lacquer to achieve your desired appearance. Steel posts can also be painted to complement the panels and create a cohesive look across the entire wall.
MANUFACTURING & SUPPLY
Urbanscapes manufactures precast concrete retaining wall panels at its Campbelltown manufacturing facility in Sydney. Learn more about our precast concrete manufacturing.
In-house panel manufacturing allows production to be coordinated with project requirements, including the quantities and panel types required for the retaining wall works. Urbanscapes offers two ways to source concrete panel retaining walls:
This flexibility allows civil contractors and developers to engage Urbanscapes for the scope of work that best suits their project and construction arrangements, from supply through to full retaining wall construction.
DESIGN & INSTALLATION
Every retaining wall project has different ground conditions, levels and loading requirements. A suitable retaining wall system must be selected and designed around these factors before construction begins. When planning precast panel retaining wall works, the following project requirements need to be considered:
Project-specific design and installation requirements should be confirmed before construction to ensure the retaining wall is suited to the actual site conditions. See our approach to retaining wall design and engineering.
PROJECTS
PROJECT GALLERY
Concrete panel and steel post retaining walls, in progress and completed.
Precast concrete panel retaining walls can be used for a range of civil, commercial and residential construction projects where changes in ground level need to be managed. Typical applications include:
The suitability of a precast panel system depends on the retaining height, ground conditions, available space, loading requirements and the overall project design.
FAQS
It is a retaining wall formed by placing precast concrete panels between structural steel posts. The posts are installed into foundations and support the panels, while the panels form the retaining face that holds back the soil.
Urbanscapes offers woodgrain, splitface, block, stackstone and sandstone log textures in a range of colours. Panels can also be painted or lacquered, and steel posts can be painted to complement the panels.
Steel posts are installed into foundations and the precast panels are positioned between them to form the wall, together with appropriate drainage behind the wall. Construction follows the project-specific design for the site.
Yes. Panel texture, colour, painted or lacquered finishes and post finishes can be selected to suit the project, and the wall is designed around the retaining height, site conditions and loading requirements.
Helpful information includes the project location, approximate wall length, retained height and any project drawings you have available. You can also tell us whether you need supply only or supply and installation.
