It depends what you mean by "sandwalling". I remember using sandbags to go build buildings way farther away from my construction yard range. You can set up good traps this way.

In the original version, you could build sandbags all the way to the enemy base (depending on fog-of-war), and the enemy would never target the sandbags, so you could pen them in.

Yeah, I've also used this to arrange my buildings neatly. But sandwalling is walling off the AI with sandbags inside their base, cutting the resource income and generally incapacitating the enemy. Never tried that, sounds like a lame and boring cheat/exploit tactic.
