100 UC 14.8 Galvanised Steel H-Beam Retaining Wall Post | Retaining Walls Direct

100 UC 14.8 Galvanised Steel H-Beam Retaining Wall Post

The 100 UC 14.8 is the entry-level H-Beam Universal Column specification for concrete sleeper retaining walls — the correct post for walls up to approximately 1.2m in stable ground conditions where H-Beam is required but the full section modulus of a 150 UC or 200 UC is not needed. Commonly specified for walls on reactive clay sites under 1.2m where C-Channel is insufficient but wall height doesn't demand a heavier section.

With 40+ years of hands-on retaining wall experience across Australia, we specify the 100 UC 14.8 for the lower end of the H-Beam range — reactive clay sites under 1.2m, walls with moderate surcharge, and any application where C-Channel has been ruled out but a 150 UC would be over-specified. All posts are hot-dip galvanised to AS/NZS 4680 and comply with AS 4678-2002 Earth Retaining Structures.
