Modular gravity retaining wall systems

[Pupp]

Am looking at clearing a hefty bank to the side of my place so as to form (initially), a hard standing/parking area and (ultimately) a site for a workshop. The bank is a brute, approx 2m in height but happily stable, not water logged and is not heavily loaded above/behind (neighbours garden only supported). I originally started off having a design done for a cantilevered poured concrete retaining wall that would be integral with the hard pad and reinforced with tie rods etc. Budget and time now indicates a modular gravity system might be more effective assuming something aesthetically suitable and robust enough can be sourced.... any experiences?

Company I work for always seem to go to bell and webster if precast retaining walls are required.

How about using gabions?

Did think about it but would prefer a 'walled' finish and possibly haven't go the room behind on all the length for baskets (it's a tapering plot)

Forticrete have just released the very thing, it's on their website but I can't remember the name.
