WALL INSTALLATION • Determine Wall Alignment • Perform any Required Foundation Improvements • Cast Leveling Pad
WALL INSTALLATION • Place Bottom Row of MSE Wall Panel • Place Filter Fabric over Joints
WALL INSTALLATION • Brace Bottom Row of MSE Wall Panels with External Bracing • Brace Panels for Alignment with Wood Blocking at Corner of Panels • Batter Panels Back for Anticipated Movement During Backfilling
WALL INSTALLATION • Place and Compact Backfill to Bottom Row of Soil Mat Elevation. • Do not Drive Equipment Directly over Soil Mats. 3” Min Cover - Rubber Wheeled Equipment • Take Care with Tracked Equipment
WALL INSTALLATION • Attach Bottom Row of Soil Mats • Ensure Connection is Pulled Tight - Shim as Required
WALL INSTALLATION • Keep Equipment 3’ from Face of Wall – Hand Compaction at Face of Wall • Continue Placing Panels, Bracing, Filter Fabric, Backfill, Compaction, Soil Mats • Special Care at Sloped Walls
WALL INSTALLATION • Cast-in-Place Level-up Concrete pad Top of Top Panels • Panels can be Cast to Follow Slope of Wall but is not Common • Set Coping – No Mechanical Connection Required
