FIELD CONSTRUCTION MANUAL
EXCAVATION
Confirm location and elevation of walls. Width of excavation should allow for width of wall base drainpipe. Note:
all excavation should follow OSHA guidelines. If the wall steps up one block in height, the base blocks should be
installed at the lowest level in order to establish grade and face location of the second level.
BASE PREPARATION
Consult engineer's wall design for base material specification including type, width, depth and compaction. It is
recommended to start at lowest wall level. Locate the front face of the wall and run a string line one (1) inch in
front of the face-- two (2) inches above the base.
Use 2X6 or 2x8 pieces of wood, with 18' steel stakes nailed to each end, for forming up the base (see DIAGRAM
1).

COMPACTED BASE MATERIAL
Set front board in line with string and at base elevation of wall. Locate the back board at the base width (of wall)
distance from the front board. Set elevation of back board to give the proper wall batter. For example, if the wall
has a 6:1 batter, and the base of the wail is 30 inches wide (2.5 ft) then the back board should be five (5) inches
lower than the front board (See DIAGRAM 2).

Make sure the base material is well compacted. Test if necessary. Be careful not to push out boards during
compaction. After compacting, screed off base material, fill in low spots, and screed again. Repeat procedure as
necessary to achieve firm, compacted base.
Without moving the string line, start leap-frogging the base boards further on down the wall line and continue
preparing the base. Do not disturb stringline. It is best to prepare the entire base before setting the blocks.
CURVED WALLS BASE PREPARATION
Curved walls require many more location points to define the curve (the tighter the curve, the more location
points). Use bender boards for the base boards, Set the front boards to the elevation and curve of the walls. Set
the back boards to the back width and batter the wall. Fill, compact and screed base material as required.
SETTING BLOCKS
Before placing blocks, make sure the top and bottom surfaces of the respective blocks are clean. At one end of
the wall, or at one end of the lowest base elevation, start the wall. At the start of the wall, mark a line
perpendicular to the face of the wall. This line will help place the first block square to the wall face. Place the first
block one inch from the string line. Set the next block beside the first block, taking care to align the face. If the
base width of the wall requires 2 or more blocks, place the blocks at the back of the wall first (It may help to run a
temporary string line). Always place the best face of the blocks on the outside of the wall. (See DIAGRAM 3).
DIAGRAM 3
SET BL13CKS AT BACK
WALL FIRST
Do not set any more than 25 to 30 feet of blocks along the length of base before starting on the second or third
row. The block keyways have a limited amount of play which could lead to binding if installed incorrectly.
If binding does occur between the first and second row of blocks, leave a 1/4" gap when placing the next base
block. Another suggestion to reduce the binding is as follows: When building the base going left to right, after
placing each second row block push the second row block right to left until it no longer slides along base block.
Make sure the upper row blocks do not slide up on the keys of lower row blocks (See DIAGRAM 4).
-+--1�1 R=
DIAGRAM 4
BALL rjL,�MKi �T 1�•.---*•--
If building walls with geogrid, make sure geogrid is extended through to the front face of the block. Geogrid
reinforced walls require that the backfill and geogrid be compacted and stretched as the wall goes up. Make sure
drainpipe, filter fabric, and drain mats (if required) are installed before backfilling. Backfill material and
compaction must meet engineer's requirements. Test as necessary. Continue placing blocks being careful to
align the face.
EQUIPMENT FOR PLACING BLOCKS
A track-mounted excavator is the ideal piece of equipment for setting blocks. A wire rigging with swivel hooks,
OSHA approved and rated for the weight of the blocks, can be attached to the excavator and used for lifting and
moving the blocks.
SAFETY FACTORS
1. Never stand underneath a block.
2. Never accept or install blocks with a cold joint (LEAVE ON DELIVERYTRUCK)
3. Avoid getting any part of the body between pinch points while installing blocks (either between two blocks or
between a block and the open excavation).
4. Always inspect rigging for lifting the block. Replace all worn out or broken parts. DO NOT USE INFERIOR,
INADEQUATE OR UNAPPROVED EQUIPMENT.
USEFUL TOOLS
1, Transit- to lay out a level base.
2. Shovels and rakes- for use by the base prep person.
3.A lifting jig- to hold the blocks at the correct batter.
4.A broom- to clean the keyways before placing the next layer.
5.One or more 5 foot pry bars for jostling the blocks into position.
CORNERS
1. Vertical walls can be locked at 90-degree corners.
2. Battered walls at 90-degree corners are constructed as follows:
Stack a vertical column to fill the cornet, Adjust toe of battered wall to meet with corners of
vertical stack (i.e.: kick toe out for outside corner, meet toe at edge for inside corner). For
walls higher than 7.5', you ma yy use a stack of full-size, interlocked blocks to make a 5x5'
vertical stack, rather than 2 2.50.5' stack with single half blocks (See below).
Use Geogrid between the vertical blocks, extending back into the fill. Make the corner stack the
same width as the wall base (2.5/5'/7.5'etc.)
OUTSIDE CORNER
INSIDE CORNER 0
OPTIONAL LARGER CORNER STACK
EXCAVATION
If the radius of the wall is less than the allowable radius then contact the manufacturer and see if
arrangements can be made for special block.
Wall Width Minimum Radius of Curve
2.5' 100'
5' 200'
7.5' 300'
10' 400'
FINAL LEVELLING OF THE WALL
Imperfect or disturbed bases can cause a wall to not run straight or level. It is recommended to
shim (asphalt shingle) wall if necessary or place a 4X6 on top of the wall at the high points and
pound down with the excavator bucket.
