CeTeau Timber Wall Retention

CeTeau timber wall retention is a structurally engineered walling system, utilizing the long established gravity wall concept. The patented lightweight interlocking components form a series of open cell modules. These are then filled with well graded stone to create the mass required to counteract the earth pressures and surcharge loadings. Structural integrity is achieved through the interaction of the elements and the granular infill.

Timber Source and Durability
The CeTeau timber retaining wall is manufactured in New Zealand from selected Radiata Pine softwood from managed, cultivated, renewable forest resources. Manufacturing is carried out to an approved Q.A. system ensuring a high level of dimensional accuracy. All machining is completed before treatment. All components are pressure treated to NZTPA H5,ASI604,BS5589 PCA and AWPA CI986 using CCA preservatives. Complete wood cell penetration is achieved giving full protection from termite and fungal attack. Tests have shown that an "in ground" service life in excess of 125 years can be expected. All timber components carry a 50 year guarantee against decay and termite attack.

Ease of Construction

The construction is simple and can be undertaken by any competent builder or even home handyman. For larger or more complex walls CeTeau has a network of experienced contractors worldwide.
