Designing a retaining wall to manage water is
essential. What is often overlooked is
water management during
construction.
To avoid any issues arising which could delay construction
or even cause wall failures, action should be taken daily. At the end of each day’s construction and at
final completion, grade the backfill to avoid water accumulation behind the
wall or in the reinforced zone.
Allan Block is working to achieve our industry initiative of Zero Wall Failures. With our Best Practices Manual and experience in the industry we are trying to expand the knowledge base for the design of segmental retaining walls (SRW's) by communicating and educating the professionals in the industry.
