T-WALLS
T-WALLS
T wall units are an ideal product where speed of
installation is necessary. They offer a fast, cost-effective
solution to constructing retaining and containing
developments. Standard sizes range from 2m high up
to 4m high, with a width of 1m for all unit sizes.
PRODUCT BENEFITS
1. Large range of sizes are available
2. Quick and easy installation
3. Create storage bays without imposing a load to the building frame
4. Can retain material on both sides
5. Retain material up to 18kN/m3
FOUNDATIONS
The foundation requirements should be determined by a qualified engineer. Units placed on a concrete foundation should be bedded on mortar and wedged to attain correct alignment. Where it is necessary to anchor the unit to the foundation, see the ‘Stability’ section.
STABILITY
Anchors comprise of 4 no. B.16 high yield deformed bars with a
nominal penetration of 150mm both into the foundation and the
unit, used with two part resin mortar (as for retaining walls), in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
1. Position the T walls onto the concrete foundation and align
using a cement mortar bed and shims, as required.
2. With the 30mm diameter holes in the unit base as a guide, drill
into the foundation to the required depth using a 28mm diameter
rotary percussive drill to give rough-sided holes (do not use a
diamond drill which leaves a smooth sided hole).
3. Pour sufficient mixed resin into the hole first, then insert the
B.16 bar to the full depth so that the resin covers and
encapsulates the bar.
