Concrete Retaining Wall Unloading and Installation

The units are transported horizontally and should be offloaded in this position. The units should be lifted so as to equalise the lifting points to coincide with the centre of gravity of the unit. Lifting into the vertical position should be undertaken prior to installation. If you require a lorry with a lifting arm then please ensure you let us know.

Installation
Anchor Information
To ensure safety against sliding and overturning it is recommended that the retaining walls are anchored to a secure concrete slab foundation. A qualified engineer should assess foundation requirements.

Anchoring should be completed using bolts (or steel dowels), resin and grout. We can supply ground fixing kits or we can give you advice on what you require. Care needs to be taken to ensure that the anchor holes are deep enough to ensure a stable foundation. Please consult us, or a qualified engineer.

In-situ Installation
Our retaining walls units are also available with reinforcing bars protuding from the toe, thus allowing you to imbed the unit into a concrete floor to make a permanent structure. The benefit of this is that the foot of the unit will be completely submerged, giving a flush finish with the floor level. See picture below for more details.
