Hello Magdaddy,

My name is Kevin Lawrence and I am from Jamaica. I have spoken to Sam at length. I am doing a two story house inclusive of a walkout basement. The rear wall is approximately 11 feet in height and as such will have to function as a retaining wall as well. We do things a little differently her in that we would include a cast reinforced concrete column every 10 feet or so and we would also run a reinforced concrete belt strip at the top.

I would like to know if your sips have been used for this purpose:

Would they be adequate as a replacement for an eight inch thick block and steel wall.

Could they be used with galvanised steel C-purlins (we have serious termites here).

Any help and/or advice would be appreciated.

 

Thank you
