Here’s how you can build a concrete wall. ❖First of all you need planning, materials and tools that you will be needing in construction, preparation, base course, back filing, inter locking clips, geogrid, capping, gloves and safety glasses. First of all you need planning, materials and tools that you will be needing in construction, preparation, base course, back filing, inter locking clips, geogrid, capping, gloves and safety glasses. ❖Now starts the main work. First remove the soil from the area where the wall will sit and replace it with base material of good density for supporting the wall. It should be at least ¾’’ wide. Now keep on compacting and building the base until its 12 inches deep. Make sure your base is level or your wall will be crooked. Now starts the main work.

Once you place the first set of blocks fill the large cores of the concrete blocks with crushed stones. ❖ Now you need interlocking clips that should be placed. The clips interlock the blocks and prevent any side to side movement. Now add more courses after clipping. Keep working with additional courses and make sure you add the interlocking clips at every level and filling the cores in. Now you need interlocking clips that should be placed.

This helps to secure the wall. Now keep adding courses until your desired height of the concrete retaining wall. Now once you’re done with the two courses add geogrid. This helps to secure the wall. Now keep adding courses until your desired height of the concrete retaining wall. ❖ Once you reach the desired height finish the last level by covering it concrete blocks that are called caps to cover the cores. Be sure they are placed properly and neatly for a tight finish to the walls.
