VERSA-LOK Releases New Solid Solutions Estimating Software

VERSA-LOK has made it easier than ever to estimate and sell VERSA-LOK retaining walls, columns and stairs with the introduction of its powerful new Solid Solutions Estimating Software.

“This easy-to-use application takes the tedium—and the mistakes—out of estimating materials for VERSA-LOK projects,” says Karen Nelson, VERSA-LOK engineering services manager. “Solid Solutions is going to be a huge time-saver for contractors and dealers alike.”

Solid Solutions Estimating Software automatically calculates the number of VERSA-LOK units and pins and quantities of geogrid and aggregate for a project. Just select a feature in your project—retaining wall, freestanding wall, stairs, columns—choose the VERSA-LOK unit for each feature, enter the dimensions of each feature and the site conditions (soils and grade), and the software does the rest.

For retaining walls up to 15 feet tall, the software produces preliminary cross sections, including geogrid. Different soils, loading, slopes and unit types can be input to quickly view resulting changes in geogrid amounts. For projects with multiple features, the software automatically totals the material quantities for all the features.

“The software not only estimates materials, but also lets you print out a professional package for clients that includes sample details, project photos, and an order form you can take straight to your dealer,” explains Nelson. And a handy feature allows you to store current projects and retrieve past projects.
