2019 was a breakout year for my company SP&A.  We have become a DBE/WBE/SBE supplier of  speciality precast concrete and cast stone products. This retaining wall, called the Upper Nadine Road Wall, features Dura-Hold modular retaining wall blocks.  Dura-Hold is bulletin 15 approved with Penn-DOT and also available as a CO-STARS product. I’ve been working with Rodger Costello (owner of Dura-Sales in Tarentum, PA) for some time now and we worked with the specialty contractor Eurovia Atlantic Coast LLC to make this wall a reality.

Pittsburgh is a very hilly place and we have many emergency slide projects every year.  This is one of those projects.  Eurovia  is a highly experienced contractor and I found them wonderful to work for.

The Dura-Hold block is modular, dry cast and solid. Design was a single tie back wall with a multiple step concrete footer, based on site conditions.
