Victory
The Victory I wall unit’s height-to-depth ratio of better than 2:1 provides additional strength desired for segmental wall designs. Other systems limit the flexibility available to the design engineer, with built-in set-back requirements. Therefore, built-in restrictions may reduce and/or adversely affect the site layout conditions. If necessary, Venture’s systems will allow as little as 1/16″ set-back per 8″ course. Note: 1/8″ is the minimum suggested per course. The larger unit provides greater mass at the face of the wall, which increases the shear resistance between units and wall unit to geogrid connection strength.
The Victory II wall unit has the split rib finish on both front and back. This unique design feature allows parapet walls to be constructed to match the retaining wall itself. To construct parapet walls, most systems require the use of two (2) 12″ units installed back to back, which is costly. Note: The Victory II unit is primarily used on straight walls. Due to wall unit angle restrictions, serpentine walls will not allow the use of the Victory II unit. However, with minor cuts and alterations, stack-bond 90 degree radius turns can be constructed with the Victory II unit.
The Mini Vic wall units, due to manufacturing requirements, have two profiles that mirror each other. Although the two profiles are different, design characteristics allow the individual units to remain difficult to identify, within the wall itself.
The versatility and durability of the Victory Series units are represented here in this detention pond project. The use of Venture’s large wall units has been tested over the years in channel lining projects and sea-walls along shore lines.
Due to the ease of installation, public works employees have completed channel lining projects themselves. Not having to depend on outside contractors allowed more projects to be completed on the limited funds available.
