INSTALLATION GUIDE:

This guide is a basic outline of how to install a concrete retaining wall. For simplicity it is

based on installing a 1 metre high retaining wall with 2 metre sleepers. For different wall

heights please adjust the figures accordingly.

Step 1: Setting up

When setting up your retaining wall you need to establish the correct alignment, particularly if the retaining

wall is located on a boundary. In most cases, the person who alters the natural ground level is responsible

for the retaining wall, however you should check with your local council as each region may have

different laws.

Step 2: Laying out

You will need to set a string line along the line of the proposed retaining wall. Set your pegs 500mm past

each end of the retaining wall so that the end holes do not disturb your string line.

Mark out where each hole will need to be dug (hole centres should be 2015mm apart for 2m sleepers).

Step 3: Steel lengths

As a rough guide, the steel should be cut to double the height of the wall, so a 1 m wall will require 2 m

steel lengths. This may vary depending on your type of soil.

Step 4: Digging the holes

Holes should be dug to the same height as the wall, plus 100mm. For example, a 1 metre high wall should

be dug to 1,000 + 100mm = 1,100mm. Hole diameters should be approx 450mm.
