Installation Guide
Permits
Check with your local council to ensure all local Building Codes are complied with.
Foundation
The foundation material shall be compacted by several passes of a mechanical plate vibrator. Where there are significant variations of foundation material or compaction, soft spots, or where there is ponding of ground water, the material shall be removed,
replaced and compacted in layers not exceeding 150mm. Trenches shall be dewatered and cleaned prior to construction, such that no softened or loosened material remains.
Levelling Pad (footing)
The facing shall be built on a levelling pad, not less than 150mm thick and 300–600mm wide, consisting of one of the following options:
• Compacted road base
• Compacted crushed rock,
well-graded and of low plasticity (without clay content), compacted by a plate vibrator;
• Cement-stabilized crushed rock, with an additional 5% by mass of cement thoroughly mixed, moistened and compacted by a plate vibrator; or
• Lean-mix concrete with a compressive strength of not less than 15 MPa.
First Course
Place the first course on the levelling pad and tap into place ensuring blocks are level, front to back and side to side (check with a spirit level). The use of a level and string line is recommended to ensure the first course is laid correctly. Ensure each block is also well filled with free-draining material (eg. crushed rock aggregate / blue metal). For walls up to 1 metre high, make sure at least 100mm of the first-course blocks are buried below the finished ground level. Allow 200mm for walls over 1 metre high and up to 3 metres high. These walls will need to be engineered.
Drainage and Back Fill
Place 100 mm diameter agricultural pipe with geotextile sock behind the wall, with a 1 in 100 fall. Backfill behind the courses of blocks to a width of 300 mm using 10-20 mm free draining material (eg. crushed rock aggregate / blue metal). Ensure each block is also
well filled with free-draining material. Backfill behind the drainage layer with selected backfill material in a maximum of 200mm layers. Compaction rate of 95% must be achieved (use only hand operated plate compactors within 1 metre from the back of the wall). Do not use expansive clays to backfill. Be careful not to mechanically compact
too close to the wall.
Laying Additional Courses
Clean any debris from the top of the wall to ensure the next block sits perfectly. Ensure each block is filled with free draining material, and place next course on top. Place the drainage material behind the blocks to 300mm. Stack units, placing drainage aggregate
and compact backfill for each block layer until the wall is complete. For Sydneystone and Hastings walls it is recommended that you break 20–30% of the back ‘wings’ off to allow backfill material to lock into the block wall. (when using no fines concrete)
Capping Units
Once backfilling and cleaning is completed as per Step 5 and Step 6 fix the purpose made Capping Blocks with a flexible adhesive.
Maximum Wall Height
This information should be viewed as a guide only. The particular circumstances of retaining wall projects vary significantly in ways that often dictate the use of particular materials and techniques to address challenges presented by those circumstances. Austral Masonry recommends you to ensure that you obtain appropriate professional advice tailored to your circumstances before commencing retaining wall projects.
