Millenia Walls

■ Millenia Wall Solutions retaining wall units provide a light-weight, eco-friendly alternative for your retaining wall projects. Millenia's units offer breakthrough technology that reaches new heights in stability, durability and aesthetics. The wall units consist of a confinement cell (for containing fill) secured to a rigid frame that features structural cross ribbing for strength. Unit-to-unit connection locks them together in all directions.
■ EW 50 -- ½ sq ft unit: 2.5lbs - 6 inches high x 12 inches wide x 9 inches deep -- designed for the do-it-yourselfer, landscaper and smaller engineered walls.
■ SC 100 -- 1 sq ft unit: 5.5lbs - 8 inches high x 18 inches wide x 12 inches deep -- designed for the contractor, larger applications and engineered walls.
■ Incredibly easy to install; instead of installers hauling and lifting the weight of a wall in the form of heavy blocks, with Millenia a front-end loader delivers the weight to the wall in the form of crushed stone backfill. Using manufactured concrete blocks to construct a retaining wall, a five-man crew can typically complete only 750 square feet per day. A three-man crew can complete 1,500 to 2,000 square feet per day using the Millenia Wall system.
■ Moisture, organic materials and chemicals from the soil penetrate and degrade timbers and concrete. In contrast, Millenia units are made from 100 percent pre-consumer recycled polymeric resins that have zero absorption. Retaining walls built with Millenia units are built to last.
■ Earth friendly; replacing concrete blocks with Millenia's modular polymeric units in retaining wall construction results in a 65 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and a 55 percent reduction in the overall environmental impact over the life cycle of the product.
■ With Millenia you can earn up to eight LEED credit points in two categories: Sustainable Sites and Materials and Resources.
