Engineered Walls:

 

• Gather Data to answer the basic questions asked when designing an engineered

wall by filling out the SRW Preliminary Design Request Form

• Fax, email or bring “The request form” to Landis Block and it will be

submitted for a “Preliminary “Pre Bid” design drawing” showing

geogrid placement, stones, caps and adhesive needed for the job. There

is no charge for this service. If you need a stamped print of this work it

can be arranged for an up charge per sq ft.

• Directions and Installation Procedures are available at VYKING.NET

• Vyking Walls over 3’ in height may require the services of a licensed engineer

trained in Segmented Retaining Walls (SRW).

• Obtain a copy of “Segmental Retaining Wall Installation Guide” published

by the National Concrete Masonry Association and become familiar

with the best practices for installation of this type of wall system.

• There are Standard Geogrid Placement tables available at Vyking.net for

certain walls that meet the criteria discussed.
