1 | 1.0 Introduction

The Geowall Pro and Max structural retaining wall systems are high-performance systems which use two pultrudedfiberglass pins for alignment and inter-unit connection. These block systems are typically used with Geogrid which,when engineered together, can create tall, stable, structural retaining walls. Geowall is excellent for landscaping,

residential and commercial development, or where space is at a premium.

Gravity WallsA Conventional or Gravity Wall is a wall that does not require Geogrid

soil reinforcement. This wall system relies on the mass weight of the block,

batter or setback of the block, frictional connection between blocks,

and proper soils to resist the earth’s applied pressures. A primary

advantage of a Gravity Wall is that a small work area is required

behind the wall, eliminating over-excavating of the soils.

The maximum gravity height of each retaining wall is

unique to each block, the soils and loading conditions.

Soil Reinforced WallsA Soil Reinforced or Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE),

Wall is a durable and cost-efficient method of constructing

taller walls. Soil Reinforced Walls, typically utilized on

fill sites, require increased work area behind the wall,

soils capable of proper utilization with reinforcement,

and design by a qualified professional engineer.

A soil reinforced wall stabilizes the block face with

the soil mass behind the block by utilizing layers of

geosynthetic reinforcement. The layers connect to the

block face and extend horizontally into the soil.

The large stabilized soil mass is referred to as the

reinforced soil zone. The greater the reinforced soil

mass, the larger or taller the soil embankment that

can be retained or held back.

7 | 3.0 Retaining Wall Installation

Successful installation begins with proper planning: the site soils, groundwater, horizontal and vertical layout, structural design, wall loadings, observation, testing and construction assurance are all vital to building a quality wall.If your wall is taller than four feet, or has a steep slope at the top of the wall, in front of the wall, or a load will be on topof the wall, (parking spot-driveway etc), consult an engineer before starting your project planning and construction.

1. Lay Out the WallSelect the wall location and length for the retaining wall andusing wooden stakes and a string line, plan out the wall. If necessary, have a qualified professional surveyor stake out thewall according to the lines and dimensions on the stamped engineering plans. Verify the proper locations with the project superintendent or homeowner.

2. ExcavationVerify that the layout dimensions are correct and excavate to the lines and grades as shown on the stamped and approved construction plans. Install erosion and sediment control measuresaccording to plan. If possible, perform excavation during dryweather to reduce erosion and sediment issues. Remove all vegetation and organics, and other debris. Check that the foundation sub-grade is suitable. If any conditions exist that areunacceptable, do not proceed until they have been corrected.Proceed excavating the leveling pad to obtain proper block embedment. For small Geowall gravity walls, the minimum embedment is 6 inches. However, on geogrid Geowalls, the tableshown below, from NCMA, will help determine the embedmentdepth. Prior to excavating or digging any trenches, call beforeyour dig. Calling 811 is a free service that will notify all agenciesto mark their underground utilities. Allow 48 hours prior to beginning construction. This will prevent any possible disruption

in service to your neighbors, damage to your equipment, or possible serious injury or death to you, should you contact a highpower line. Sloping Toe: the minimum embedment in front of thewall will increase when there is a slope in front of the wall. Mostmunicipalities follow the California Building Codes, which establishes rules and regulations. The minimum horizontal benchin front of most walls is 4 feet, however, you should check withyour local building department as regulations varies per municipalities.

3. Leveling PadStart the leveling pad at the lowest elevation along the wall and work upward, always maintaining a fully buried block. The leveling pad’s minimum width is the unit width plus 12inches; the minimum leveling pad’s depth is 6 inches plus theheight of the block. The leveling pad shall consist of 6 inches of awell-compacted (95% Standard Proctor) angular material (1/2inch road base or 3/4 inch clean crushed angular rocks). The wallmust step up in equal increments, always maintaining unit embedment, (see page 10, figure 4.1). Pea Gravel, sand or other material that is round or organic in nature is not acceptable foruse in a leveling pad.

4. Base CoursePlace the first course of Geowall units side by side, with eachblock touching the next; do not leave gaps or spaces. Each blockshould be leveled front to back and side to side. When consecutiveblocks are laid, check the level of multiple blocks using a four-footlevel. Ensure that the units are in full contact with the base. Place astring line at the back of the blocks to ensure your wall is straightand true to the intended lines. (see figure A)

5. PinsGeowall units have two setback options; front pin position (nearvertical position), and the rear pin position (1 inch setback). Also available is an optional 1/2 inch position, which is a combination of alternating the front and rear position. (see figure B)

6. Drainage PipeInstall a minimum 4-inch diameter perforated or slotted PVC pipebehind the blocks. Outlet the drain pipe outlet the drain pipe to astorm drain, or daylight the pipe where the water will flow awayfrom the wall face. On walls longer than 100 feet (see page 13 -4.5 Drain Pipes) you will need to daylight the drain pipe throughthe front face of the wall every (50) fifty feet and at each end connecting to a storm drain, so that the water drains away fromthe wall. (see figure C)

7. Backfill and CompactionAfter installing the pins and the drain pipe, place 3/4-inch cleancrushed angular rock 24 inches behind the face of the block, filling all voids and cavities in the Geowall block and covering thedrain pipe. Place the wall backfill material behind the drainagerock in maximum of 8-inch lifts or to a height that your vibratoryequipment is capable of compacting. Compact the soils to 95%Standard Proctor Density using the appropriate compactionequipment. When compacting within (3) three feet of the back ofthe wall, use only hand operated equipment.

8. Installing Additional CoursesPrior to laying the next course, sweep the bottom course free ofrock or other debris. Place the block so that the unit is centeredabove where the two bottom units meet. This is called a “RunningBond” pattern. Place the block so that the pins fit into the pin receiving holes, pulling the units toward the front of the wall.Once placed, check the blocks to ensure that they are level and inthe correct batter. Periodically you may need to “shim” the blocks.Use the correct materials including but are not limited to asphaltroofing material, geogrid, or polyester rope. After the next coursehas been placed, continue with placing the pins in the pin receiving holes and with backfilling the blocks, placing 3/4-inchclean crushed angular rock from the face of the block, back

24 inches. Place the structural backfill material in lifts no greater than 8 inches, or according to the capabilities of your equipment.When you have completed backfilling and compacting, sweep theblocks and start your next course, or if you have reached your desired height, follow the “Capping the Wall” steps. (see figure D)

9. Installing GeogridGeosynthetic reinforcement is required for taller walls or walls constructed in poor soils, or where the wall is supporting criticalstructures. Prior to installing geogrid, you should consult a qualified professional engineer and obtain the approved set ofconstruction plans. The first step when installing geogrid is to install the pins and sweep the blocks of any debris. Measure andcut the geogrid according to the approved plans then install thegeogrid reinforcement, ensuring that the strength direction is laidperpendicular to the wall. Stack the next course of blocks to secure the geogrid reinforcement in place, then pull the geogridreinforcement taut eliminating any wrinkles or slack. After the geogrid and block course have been placed, continue with placing the pins in the pin receiving holes. Then backfilling theblocks, place 3/4-inch clean crushed angular rock from the faceof the block back 24 inches, then place the structural backfill material. (see page 9, 3.2 Geogrid Reinforcement). (see figure E)

10. Capping the WallWhen the design heights are achieved, start to cap the wall withthe appropriate Geowall capping unit. Start by first sweeping theretaining wall blocks so they are free of rocks and debris. Placethe caps from the lowest point and work toward the top. Use amasonry concrete adhesive to secure the caps in place. The caps can be installed with an overhang, also known as ashadow effect, or they can be placed flush with the retaining wall block. (see figure F)

11. Final GradeThe final grading or planting can now be put in place. This finallift is typically an 8-inch layer of low permeability soil. This is tohelp prevent water from penetrating into the reinforced soil zoneand creating potential problems. Do not make any changes to thisarea without the approval of the design engineer.

9 | 3.0 Retaining Wall Installation

Geogrid reinforcement is required in walls taller than the block’s structural gravity capabilities. When geogrid

reinforcement is required in a retaining wall, a qualified professional engineer must be consulted to design the wall.

The final, approved design must be followed exactly by the installation contractor, and any changes

to the installation must be reviewed by the engineer prior to commencing.

1. Make sure you have a set of plans that are approved for construction. Review the plans for completeness,asking the design engineer for clarification of any issues.

2. Evaluate the placement of each layer of geogrid, checking the lengths and strengths.

3. Cut the geogrid to the length noted on the plans.

4. Understand how geogrid works — there is a specified strength direction that must be followed. On most geogrids,the strength direction is perpendicular to the wall.

5. Sweep the top of the blocks of any debris. Set the geogrid 1 inch from the face of the block, placing it over thealignment pins. Do not overlap the geogrid courses.

6. Install the next course of blocks, pulling them forward and away from the reinforced soil zone.

7. Pull the geogrid taut toward the back of the reinforced soil zone, securing it down with stakes, staples or U-nails.

8. After you have installed the pins, add the 3/4-inch clean crushed angular rock 24 inches behind the face of the block,filling all voids and cavities in the GeoWall unit.

9. Add the backfill material to the end of the reinforced soils zone. To ensure proper compaction, Basalite recommendsthat you have your compacted soils tested by a qualified licensed professional geotechnical engineer.

10. Keep heavy equipment 3 feet away from the back of the block. Do not drive on the geogrid until a minimum of6 inches of material has been placed on top of the reinforcement. Avoid sudden braking and sharp turns with equipment while driving on the geogrid as it can damage or move the geogrid.

GEOWALLTM Units Step Up Grade

Embedment Depth,Minimum One Buried Unit

Crushed StoneLeveling PadSloping Grade

Level Grade

Geowall retaining wall blocks must be constructed level, both horizontally and vertically. Courses should not be sloped

to match the slope of the existing ground. When walls are constructed on sloping land, the base course must be stepped

up in 8-inch increments as often as necessary.

Starting at the lowest point of the wall, dig out the leveling pad until the pad is 14 inches below the ground level and

12 inches wider than the block. By doing this, you will have enough room for the leveling pad material and to bury one

full block.

Start laying the base blocks, working from the lowest point in the wall toward the step-up point. Once the step-up point

has been reached, step up the next section of the trench 8 inches, keeping the course level from this point.

Continue to step up as needed to the top of the slope, maintaining at least one buried course.

There are two types of terraced retaining walls:

1. Independent Terraced WallsAn Independent Terraced Wall is a wall in which the upper wall does not apply a surcharge or load on the lower wall. The upperwall must maintain a 2:1 ratio away from the lower wall, or the upper wall must be built twice the height of the lower wall awayfrom the lower wall to meet this criteria. Therefore, if the lower wall is 3 feet tall, then the upper wall must be built 6 feet away. The upper wall must also be equal to or less, than the height of the lower wall. For proper drainage, it is important that the upperwall’s drain pipe does not outlet onto the lower wall.

2. Dependent Terraced WallsA Dependant Terraced Wall is a wall in which the upper wall places a surcharge on the lower wall. When the distance betweenthe upper wall and the lower wall is closer than twice the height of the lower wall, the walls are dependent on each other. In this situation, it is important to seek out the help of a qualified professional engineer, so that a detailed engineering analysis, includinga Global Stability Analysis, can be performed.
