Training Seminars
Every year we conduct retaining wall installation seminars nationwide. Contractors are invited to learn installation techniques, engineering fundamentals, feature design and tips for accurate estimating from authorized VERSA-LOK technical experts. At the conclusion of some seminars, attendees will be invited to take the National Concrete Masonry Association (NCMA) certification exam.

VERSA-TECH Online Academy
The VERSA-TECH Online Academy is a self-paced course on the VERSA-LOK web site that provides a detailed overview of segmental retaining walls, site planning, and installation steps.
Retaining Wall Estimating Software
To estimate materials for complex projects, or to get more detailed estimates, use VERSA-LOK’s Solid Solutions Estimating Software. This easy-to-use application is available to qualified contractors, architects, engineers and specifiers from licensed VERSA-LOK manufacturers. The software automatically calculates the number of units and pins, and quantities of geogrid and aggregate, needed for any size project.
Important: Walls that support heavy loads or exceed four feet in height require special soil reinforcement and often professionally engineered designs. Please consult a qualified engineer if unsure about any construction, site or soil conditions. Also be sure to check local building codes before designing or constructing a retaining wall.
