TECHNICAL IN

FORMATION

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

This field guide is intended as a quick

reference for unit installation only. For more

information regarding other aspects of

wall installation, see VERSA-LOK® Mosaic®

Design and Installation Guidelines. There are

many variables to consider when planning

or constructing any retaining wall.

Soil types, drainage, loading, topography,

and height need to be addressed on each

project to ensure safe, trouble-free installation.

Please note the maximum height for

an unreinforced Mosaic retaining wall

is four feet. Individual site, soil, and

loading conditions (including terraces)

may limit unreinforced wall heights

to less than four feet. Taller walls

require soil reinforcement and

engineering assistance.
