NOTES: INSTALLATION: To assure proper wall performance, you must follow the steps described in Segmental Retaining Wall Installation Guide, published by the National Concrete Masonry Association (1996). If you are unfamiliar with these guidelines, please contact the NCMA or your Anchor representative. Anchor Diamond and Anchor Diamond Pro blocks are engineered to attain a maximum wall height of approximately 4', and 3', respectively, as a gravity wall without reinforcement. Anchor Vertical blocks are engineered to attain a maximum wall height of approximately 3' as a gravity wall without reinforcement. Anchor Vertical Pro blocks are engineered to attain a maximum wall height of approximately 6' as a gravity wall without reinforcement. These heights assume level backfill and clean, compacted sand or gravel, and no surcharge. However, professional engineering must be considered for proper design and reinforcement placement. It is the user's responsibility to obtain such design advice. Neither Anchor Wall Systems, Inc., nor its authorized manufacturers assume any responsibility for the design and/or installation of walls constructed with the retaining wall products.
