Smarter Precast Starts Here

Today, we're talking about a game changing retaining wall system, Novum Wall from Aster Brands. So what is Novum Wall? Simply put, it's unlike any other retaining wall system on the market. Novum Wall is a machine set precast modular block system. It's ideal for gravity walls up to six feet and reinforced or mechanically stabilized earth walls up to twenty one feet. Each block measures forty six and an eight inches by nine inches by twenty inches with a textured face designed for strength and aesthetics. Novum Wall is the product of decades of earth retention technology, research, development, testing, and real world application. More than ten thousand high grade steel forms producing concrete solutions at two hundred and twenty plus manufacturing locations across the globe is a testament to the industry expertise that created Novum Wall. It's versatile, intelligent, and attractive wall solution perfect for commercial, government, and select residential projects. Novum Wall can be installed in tight spaces using small crews and equipment like skid steers, mini excavators, or even subcompact tractors. And because it's machine set, you can cover more wall face area in less time than with dry cast blocks, avians, or cast in place systems. Plus, its wet cast composition delivers superior durability even in the most challenging freeze thaw climates or marine applications. So how do you make Novum Wall? The process is just as straightforward as its installation. You pour four thousand psi wet cast concrete into North American sourced high grade steel forms, defining the block shape. Handcrafted polyurethane molds fixed to the interior of the forms create the deep character rich face textures that set Novum Wall apart. You prep the form, pour the concrete, let it cure, and then strip and stage the blocks for shipment. Depending on your setup, multiple pours can be done daily, and the stackable steel forms allow you to maximize space efficiently. You'll need additional demolding equipment, which can be a forklift, loader, skid steer, overhead crane, or some other method of lifting. Your operation will also require basic concrete tools, a method to remove entrapped air from your mix, like a concrete vibrator or vibration table, and of course, a reliable source of first use concrete. Our expert operation team provides daily guidance to help you acquire the necessary equipment, create the most efficient production layout, and develop your optimal manufacturing schedule. Is Novum Wall a good fit for your local market? Absolutely. It's versatile for commercial developments, municipal infrastructure, residential beautification, even lakefront homes with tight lot lines and limited access corridors. Its efficient installation keeps time sensitive commercial and development schedules on track. For municipal projects, the durability and simplicity make it ideal for park terraces, streetscapes, or supporting infrastructure. And in residential spaces, its manageable block size lets crews work in tight spots without large equipment. What about costs and margins? Producing Novum Wall starts with an initial equipment package and monthly royalty payments. For existing precasters, a moderate initial investment in forms can deliver a strong return. Royalties are paid per form per month and drive ongoing product innovation, technical support and marketing to grow your market. Whether you're a current precaster, existing ready mix supplier or a construction entrepreneur with big plans, Novum Wall is your proven path to developing a new revenue stream and maximizing high margin growth.
