At Venture,
we believe the industry is ready for something “Different”!
   
The Venture Retaining Wall System has proven its structural value and has
helped maintain and improve industry standards. Venture’s Delta I, Delta
II, and V-12 straight split face units provide some of the highest wall unit
to soil reinforcement connection values in the industry. Structural integrity
is inherent with Venture’s Victory Series: Victory I, Victory II, and
the Mini Vic retaining wall units.
The patented Victory Series creates a unique and unparalleled
architectural appeal. The individual wall units are not easily detectable.
Therefore, Victory provides Modular Retaining Wall units without the
Modular Retaining Wall look. The rustic “Old World”
appearance introduces a completely new look. And it is “Different”!

Easy to Install:
By design, Venture’s wall units are balanced and easy to
install. Special packaging allows the use of smaller equipment. Installers
have reported substantial savings in labor cost and equipment requirements.
Durable:
Venture’s wall units meet or exceed industry standards and quality control
is a priority for our manufacturers. Venture specifies certain production
requirements which result in a high degree of dependability and quality
assurance.
Versatile:
90 degree corners can be constructed, but with Venture’s 3'-6"
radius capability, up to 4'-0" in height, curved walls are softer in
appearance and provide a strong structural installation. A radius equal to
the height of the wall is recommended for walls over 4'-0". Wall unit
set-back per course is also flexible and may be specified at 1/8" to
2".
Currently:
By design, most modular retaining wall systems dictate the wall
batter alignment (course to course set-back). This is achieved by offsets in
the wall units themselves, bars, lips, pins, and other methods of alignment,
which influence and possibly limit engineered wall designs and may create
potential installation issues. Shear connection between wall units, and wall
unit to soil reinforcement material connection strength, is influenced by and
dependent upon these mechanisms, and varies from system to system.
However!
Venture’s wall units provide flexibility in wall batter
alignment and may be specified, by design, to set-back from 1/8" to
2" per 8" course. Shear connection between wall units, and wall
unit to soil reinforcement material connection strength, is created by the
wall unit corefill material specified. (1" to 1 1/4" crushed rock
is recommended.) Note: If design specifications require a mechanical
connection between wall units and soil reinforcement material, Venture’s
ABA (Anchor
Bar Assembly) units can be provided. The ABA Anchors and Alignment Bars are
accessories, not necessities.
Therefore!
The architectural appeal, which is enhanced by the shadowing effect provided
by the rib configuration of the Victory wall unit, can be achieved by
increasing or decreasing the wall batter alignment. This may or may not
affect the soil reinforcement design, but it should be considered by the wall
design engineer. A maximum set-back of 1/2" per 8" course is
recommended to achieve the shadowing effect most commonly desired.
