About Us
Westlock Concrete Solutions Ltd (WCS) is an innovative company based in Northern Buller, New Zealand that has directly experienced the devastating effects of coastal erosion. Not satisfied with the ongoing maintenance of rock walls and the limited choices available for erosion, Westlock put their heads together and designed a unique interlocking concrete block system providing a long-term solution.
In search for engineering compliance, Westlock has produced a superior engineered block and placement method that complies with NZ engineer standards and enables them to be placed in harsh marine environments and waterways. Across the globe, hard structures have been used for long term protection against erosion.
Now it is time for us to take the lead.

Our Services - Retaining your future

We can work with your preferred contractor and supply them the blocks. If it is the first time your contractor has used our system, we will work alongside them to ensure that the design and installation are done correctly.
