At ReCon we understand that having great gravity retaining wall products is not enough. We combine our large retaining wall block system with knowledge, tools, and testing that allows us to deliver a wall solution, not just a good block. ReCon prides itself in using its knowledge and experience to deliver Solutions and Value to its gravity retaining wall customers. Some retaining wall companies sell "blocks". Here at ReCon we know that our customers are purchasing a "wall" to solve a grade separation issue.
ReCon Retaining Wall Systems was formed in 2000 by a group of six Twin Cities individuals that had a vision of capturing "returned concrete" (thus the name "ReCon") from ready mix trucks to make a large retaining wall block. Five of the founders had a "construction" background, including expertise in the concrete finishing business and in the hardscape construction business. It did not take long for the marketplace to provide to ReCon two very important messages. First, the marketplace embraced the concept of a large retaining wall block that could be machine set, that could be utilized to build tall gravity walls, and that had a natural stone texture.
We know that proper design of a precast concrete modular block retaining wall is a critical step in the completion of a successful retaining wall. A final design prepared and stamped by a licensed professional is required on most commercial and governmental projects. ReCon has conducted the required testing and can provide engineers with the information they need to design retaining walls in accordance with current accepted design standards. At ReCon, we recognize the importance of providing the information and tools that allow specifying architects and engineers to understand the aesthetics, features, functions and capabilities of the ReCon Retaining Wall System and then to communicate their desires with clear specification templates and construction details.
As a retaining wall contractor, ReCon wants both you and your customer to experience the benefits that our retaining wall product can bring to your project.
