Concrete walls in Setúbal
Yes, we deliver and install in Setúbal. Our warehouse is in the Greater Lisbon area, a 59.7 km from the municipality seat — about 44 minutes of road. The most common plot here is hard rock on the slope, sand on the plain, which makes the installation varies greatly. It is the plot, more than the length of the wall, that governs the lead time.
Delivery from our warehouse
We have our own warehouse in Greater Lisbon. From the warehouse door to Setúbal town hall it is 59.7 km, about 44 minutes of road. The four stock textures leave without waiting for production; what is made to order goes into manufacturing first.
The delivery crosses the Tejo over the Vasco da Gama bridge, which adds a toll and sensitivity to peak-hour traffic — which is why unloading on the south bank is scheduled outside the busiest times.
Distance and time measured by actual road routing to the municipality's main town, not as the crow flies. Within the municipality the figure varies with the parish.
Salty air
This municipality has an exposed waterfront. It is where the difference between concrete and metal stops being aesthetic: concrete does not corrode or react to salt air, unlike any galvanised metal fence. The panel's water absorption is ≤ 6 %.
This applies to the wall, not to the accessories: gates, hinges and locks are still metal and still need maintenance near the sea.
What ground you will find in Setúbal
In a precast concrete wall, almost all of the site time goes into drilling the post holes. That is why it is the plot, and not the length, that governs the lead time.
What that means in practice
Hard rock, and sometimes at shallow depth. Drilling is unavoidable on the slope. On the flat areas to the north the same parish can have sand — the two situations coexist within the same municipality.
Slow going in the hills, fast in the sandy part. It is the municipality where it is most worth seeing the line before giving a lead time.
In this particular municipality
A city between the Sado estuary and the Serra da Arrábida: limestone and dolomite on the hillside, alluvium and sand by the water, salty air along the whole riverfront.
Geological term, for anyone who wants to check: limestones and dolomites of the Arrábida. Arrábida anticline and Serra de São Luís: Lower and Middle Jurassic dolomites and Middle Jurassic limestones.

Level or stepped?
What this changes in the wall
The steps are made in multiples of 500 mm, or 300 mm when a finer adjustment is needed.
An example to give a sense of scale: on a 5 % slope, a 50 metre wall drops 2.5 metres from one end to the other — five courses of 500 mm panel. That is why on a sloping plot the number of panels is not calculated from the length alone.
How we measure
Local slope median of 5.0 % in this municipality. Measured at 14 points spread across the territory, comparing the altitude of each point with four neighbours 120 metres away — roughly the length of a real wall. The median is used so that an isolated slope does not classify a flat municipality as sloping.

Licensing in Setúbal
The requirements are municipal: they depend on the height of the wall, its position relative to the public road, the property boundary and what the PDM for Setúbal lays down. We are not going to tell you it "is not needed" just to close a sale. Check with the municipal council before going ahead; if needed, we provide the dimensions and the drawing of the wall to support the application.
