All products are manufactured from natural materials and although we strive to provide consistency of colour, variation may occur in the manufacturing process. It is for this reason that werecommend that products are selected from at least three bales, within each delivery. This will eliminate 'banding'.

As these products contain cement they may suffer from the temporary phenomenon of efflorescence. This is in no way detrimental to their performance characteristics and is common in allgood quality products with a high cement content. Time should be given for all products to weather in, at this stage they will look their best.

All information contained in this brochure is correct at the time of going to print. We recommend that you contact our sales staff for further information at the design stage of yourproject for the most up-to-date information. Acheson & Glover reserves the right to discontinue products if necessary.

The colours shown in this literature are as accurate as the printing process will allow. Whilst every effort is made to match colours and represent textures, we recommend that colours and textures are chosen from actual samples of the products.

Anchor Retaining Walls allow you to explore your creativity through functional design flexibility.Why not include curves and radii on your next retaining wall project.

Anchor Vertica® Inside Curve

Stage 1The levelling pad should be placed to plan dimensions and compacted.

Stage 2Block units should be laid level from front to back and side to side.

Make sure blocks are in full contact with levelling pad and adjoining blocks.

Stage 3Drainage aggregate should be placed to thickness and depth shown on plans.

Stage 4Drain pipe should be placed at plan location, sloped to create gravity flow of water.

Stage 5Backfill placement and compaction:

- Use backfill type as specified by design engineer

- Backfill should be placed in 200mm lifts and compacted

- No heavy compaction equipment to be used within 1 metre of wall face

- Block cores should be filled with aggregate on each course

Stage 6Geosynthetic Reinforcement Placement:

- Place horizontally at planned locations

- Use length as per plans

- Place with highest strength direction perpendicular to wall face

- Place to front of block unit below and connected between unit above

- Ensure it’s nominally tensioned to remove slack or wrinkles prior to backfilling

Stage 7Curves and corners installed as per design engineers specification.

Stage 8If partial units are required, use specified adhesive to bond in place.

Stage 9Cap units fitted and secured with specified adhesive.
