Project Success Starts With Proper Estimation of Your Allan Block Retaining Wall Materials

MINNEAPOLIS, MN, Jun 01 (MARKET WIRE) --
Allan Block Corporation has created an estimating tool for retaining
walls under 30 ft (9.1 m) in height. The AB Commercial Wall Estimator is a
Microsoft Excel based tool, and is a free download from our website at
www.allanblock.com. When there are many things that can turn a successful
project into one that leaves you scratching your head wondering where
things went wrong, making sure that the proper amount of materials on the
job site is the first step to make sure the installation and construction
of the retaining wall project is successful.

The AB Commercial Wall Estimator allows the user to enter the height and
length of their particular retaining wall and receive a material estimate
that includes:

-- Allan Block product count that includes caps and even a breakdown of
different blocks when a pattern wall is desired
-- Geogrid quantities based on wall heights and conditions
-- Base and wall rock estimates needed to complete the wall installation
-- Infill soil amounts that will need to be excavated, backfilled and
compacted
-- Drain Tile, adhesive and much more

The AB Commercial Wall Estimator is not the only tool available at
www.allanblock.com. Allan Block also has estimating tools for smaller
landscape walls and the AB Courtyard Collection, a beautiful collection
of blocks used as seating walls and pillars around patios. These tools
