CLIFTON & DENVER RETAINING WALL INSTALLATION
BEFORE INSTALLATION BEGINS
1. Conrm lot lines, wall location, wall length, set back requirements and elevations.
2. Conrm the on-site soils. For walls built in clay or poor soils, consult an engineer to conrm the
wall design and the required soil reinforcement. See Midwest Manufacturing Engineering for more
details.
3. Call the local utility companies to conrm the location of underground utilities.
4. Obtain all necessary building permits and verify local building code requirements. An approved
plan may be needed to obtain a building permit for walls above a certain height.
5. For walls adjacent to property lines, at some time in the future a surcharge may aect the stability
of the structure. Contact the Engineer of Record to ensure that additional loading has been taken
into consideration.
6. Consider drainage and water management to avoid erosion or buildup of water behind the wall.
RETAINING WALLS
*42" and taller requires geogrid reinforcement and professional design is advised
Engineering available in Denver and Clifton blocks. See Midwest Manufacturing Engineering for more details.
*The back lips are not structural and are not needed to maintain the integrity of the wall.
