In 2021 The Block is going somewhere it has never been before – UNDERGROUND – with the help of AFS Rediwall^®

Construction at The Block building site always starts with a few surprises and this year was no different! In 2021, the renos began with the construction of basements, all using AFS Rediwall^®.

With land prices at a premium in the Melbourne suburb of Hampton (where The Block 2021 is located), it makes sense to go down!

AFS Rediwall^® is a strong and versatile permanent formwork system that’s also super-fast to assemble and install.

On The Block, speed is vital, which is one of the reasons that AFS Rediwall^® was a great choice for the build team. Quick and easy to install, AFS Rediwall^® is a perfect match for the time constraints of The Block’s schedule.

Lightweight to install, yet structurally strong to be load-bearing, the AFS Rediwall^® walling system is suitable for both above and below ground applications. It’s a time-saving alternative to conventional masonry and blockwork. The precision-extruded components easily interconnect for rapid installation.

AFS Rediwall^® is extremely versatile and able to be used in almost any application where a structural wall is required. With so many advantages, it makes perfect sense to consider AFS Rediwall^® for your next project.
