Woodwind Lakes Perimeter Beautification Project • Includes grading, brush removal, wall construction and Hydro-Seeding. • Noise reduction as high as 30 db. • Not affected by localized soil heave. • Supported by 18 inch diameter steel reinforced concrete columns 4 to 6 feet in the ground. • Safer and stronger walls, retard automobile penetrations.
Why Cast Concrete Wall Systems? • Wall panel & column in one piece. • Textured Stone Pattern on both sides of the wall. • Wall will not sag, warp or crack. • Patented Rigid Footing Support. • Safer to install. No bracing or grouting. • Safer and stronger walls.
StoneTree™ Fence Walls are installed in complete wall sections on AFTEC’s patented Rigid Footing Support system with I-beams. Conventional pre-cast concrete wall sections and columns are installed separately on footings with only rebar support
Installation The standard footing spacing is 15 ft. on center. A rigid structural support is embedded into the footing and protrudes up at least half of the height of the wall. Designed for all applicable engineering requirements including wind load, soil and seismic conditions.
Installation The wall section is set in the fence line
Installation …is placed against the steel I-beam, interlocks with the panel already in place…
Installation …the rigging is removed and the wall section is done! No bracing or shoring
