Dig a base trench 24 inches to 36 inches wide and a minimum of 12 inches deep. Remove all
vegetation and unsuitable organic soils. ( Do not use these for structural backfill. ) Compact soil base
properly.
2. Prepare Leveling Pad
Fill trench 6 inches of well graded aggregate and compact firmly with vibrating compaction equipment.
3. Level the Base
Level the aggregate base from front to back and side to side. This procedure will ensure a straight and
stable wall.
4. Laying Your First Course

5. Build Your Wall

Sweep the top of each course of units to clear debris. Half-stagger the next course so each unit is
centered on two units below. Pull each unit forward to lock connecting lugs in place.
6. Install Backfill
Place perforated drainage pipe behind the base of the wall. Add 12 inches of free-draining aggregate
behind the wall. Fill the hollow core of the units with the same materials. Place the backfill materials in
layers of no more than 12 inches deep. Compact each layer well, making sure to keep the compaction
equipment 12 inches away from the back of the wall.
7. Reinforce Walls
Place the geosynthetic according to the engineer's plan drawings and specifications. Place the
geosynthetic on top and as close to the front of the units as possible. Lock the next course of units into
place. Gently tension the geosynthetics toward the back of the compacted backfill. Repeat the
backfilling steps. Always work from the back of the wall toward the end of the reinforced zone.
