I want to build a retaining wall and I need bricks of this type. So I can stick rebar through and fill it with concrete. Unfortunately there are nowhere to be found. I drove to every local shop selling construction stuff, I visited every big shops like ThaiWatsadu, Global House, HomePro ... . Nothing. All they have are regular thin bricks.

 

Anybody knows where could I get them? Nakhon Phanom - Sakhon Nakhon - Udon Thani area.

 

 

 

 

All they have is this regular brick, which is too thin and you can't stick rebar through because one side is blind.

I never ordered anything from them, but they seem to have lots of items.

They, or ones similar to them, are widely available in the better builders merchants or pre formed concrete suppliers.

While is been years since I actually shopped for them I regularly see them for sale. As you can see in all my posts I am in Udon Thani province.

I had the same problem in finding blocks for a retaining wall .

I ended up making them after making a mold. 

Quite a simple process actually.

However I would recommend forming a concrete retaining wall if you need the wall to stop water penetrating that is more affective than cement blocks filled with concrete.

Building construction material shop will have them – they might be in a store room and not in the shop area, so ask for them, or they might be to order – HomeMart is Cement Thai (SCG), they will either have them in stock or can deliver them; same for Global House, SCG is part owner.

SCG should have them. There is another producer, CCP (Chonburi Concrete Products). They deliver nationwide

All retaining walls should have weep-holes installed as near to the bottom of the face side to stop a build up of water behind the wall which would eventually move the wall.

Yes you are correct as you make any build up of water drain in a controlled manner 

However I was stating that a concrete formed wall is a better choice of retaining wall compared to using blocks filled with concrete

What material did you use to make them?

What material did you use to make them?

I went to a local block maker and asked what aggregate they are using . I then went to a local sand supplier and asked for 5 cubic to be deliverd . I had to order 5 cubic as that was the minimum I could order. 

You mix 4 aggregate and one of cement . Pack in well into the two part mold , turn upside down and lift up . Long as you mix without too much water the block will hold together . Lay on a flat surface.

I could make 25 blocks in a few hours work. 

I can send you a photo of the mold i made if you wish.
