Easy to idiot proof - MSE tails can be cast into the block eliminating pinch variables
Self supporting - Large bearing area, provides it's own footing.
Easy to stipulate - Specify the desired concrete properties and we produce to suit
Easy to specify - Comprehensive Suggested Specification (PDF Suggested Specification)
Widely available - LOCK-BLOCK® technology can be produced anywhere in the world, see contact page for licenses
