Control design assumptions, excavation, foundation, reinforcement, drainage, backfill, compaction and movement monitoring.
Confirm ground and loads
Surcharge, water, slope and soil conditions must match the structural and geotechnical design.
Build drainage into the wall
Free-draining backfill, filter layers, outlets and subsoil drains reduce water pressure.
Control backfilling
Use specified material and compact in controlled layers without damaging waterproofing or the wall.
Inspect movement and cracking
Record condition during construction and investigate unusual displacement early.
