Why Novum Wall?

A new home in charming Croydon, New Hampshire, needed a 12-ft (3.65 m) tall retaining wall to create ingress/egress for a walkout basement. The project contractor’s small crew of three crafted a striking zero-batter mechanically stabilized earth (MSE)/reinforced Novum Wall. The team also seamlessly integrated a complementary stairway to ensure access to the upper level.
