Concrete retaining walls

Has anyone here ever used prefabricated concrete retaining walls on a silage pit?

L shaped ones like these

We have a slab with one side wall and a wall along the back and was hoping that maybe something like that would be a quick fix. There is a step and channel along that side so should be covered for collecting effluent.

I remember pricing something like those a few years ago and they came in something like 250 euro+vat for each one so about 250euro +vat/m.

They are a small bit on the expensive side but if they are being moved in a few years to use elsewhere, they may not be too bad.

I was kinda hoping that they would work out a bit cheaper than shuttering up a wall but it doesn't look like it! Still might go with them and do it bit by bit, would be easier on the cash flow.

Ps cheers for the name edit.

I'd imagine it'd be difficult to get them sealed well enough for silage effluent
