Technical data

• Earth bonded construction consisting of welded wire mesh mats with eyelets welded right round, (wire diameter of 5.0 mm) - Picture 1 -
• Insertable rods (wire diameter 6.0 mm) - Picture 2 -
• Tiebraces (wire diameter 5.0 mm) - Picture 2 -
• Grid of steel wire mesh mats 10 x 10 cm
• All steel parts are specially aluminium galvanised >350g/m²
• Erosion protection matting and vegetation matting made of coconut fibre. Where required mats can be embedded with grass seed - Picture 3 -
• Geogrids according to static requirements and with official certificate of approval - Picture 2 -

• Connect the mats for the front panels along the front side with insertable rods (picture 4)
• Install and fasten the erosion protection mat on the visible side of the front panel from the inside with 15 cm overlap in all directions.
• Insert the tiebraces ( 2 each) at a distance of 20 cm from the edges and further at a distance of 40 cm and bend the ends over (picture 1)
• Connect the geogrid to the floor panel according to the static requirements by means of the insertable rod.
• In the case of using Tensar geogrids thread each loop alternately. The geogrid must be tensioned prior to backfilling.
• In the front part of the front panel the topsoil has to be applied in layers of a thickness of 20-30cm and alternately compacted by hand and by machine.
• Fill the remaining area in 2 layers with soil according to the static requirements and compact ( to at least 97% Proctor density). Be careful and do not drive directly on the Tensar geogrids.
• Prepare the intermediate plane for the next layer.
• Connect the front panel and the base panel of the next layer to the top of the front panel of the layer lying beneath it with an insertable rod. (picture 5)
• Prefabricated angle pieces are connected along the sides by means of insertable rods and the elements are aligned.
