Grain storage bays
Our Betaloc interlocking concrete blocks are popular with farmers looking for a flexible crop storage system. As requirements change, the concrete blocks can be easily moved to a different configuration to create smaller and larger bays depending on your requirements.
Bulk material storage bays
Concrete dividing walls can be used to create storage bays for the separation of a number of bulk products such as sand, aggregates, salt. They are also popular at waste and recycling sites.
Waste and recycling walling
Our Betaloc blocks are able to withstand the tough environments in the waste and recycling industries.
Concrete security walling
When sites are left empty they can attract unwanted attention. Our Betaloc blocks can provide both a visual and physical deterrent to keep the site secure.

Betaloc®- interlocking concrete blocks
If you’re looking for a flexible and cost effective way to create storage bays then look no further then our Betaloc blocks. Ideal for both temporary and permanent structures these interlocking precast concrete blocks are easy to stack, move and relocate. This flexibility makes them perfect for constructing storage areas, partition walls, perimeter or retaining walls, or to use in areas such as landscaping, flood defences or site security barriers.
These concrete blocks feature an interlocking design, with projections and depressions that allow them to fit neatly into the adjacent block, creating a secure and stable structure. The interlocking system ensures easy alignment both horizontally and vertically, making them simple to install without requiring specialised skills or equipment. They are specifically designed to lock together without the need for cement mortar or adhesives to bond them.
The interlocking blocks each weigh 2.4 tonnes and are simply laid on top of each other and are held in position by the interlocking lugs. With two cast-in lifting points, the units are quick to install and once in place the wall is immediately ready for use. The only real requirement prior to installation is to have a sound and level base.
