CONSTRUCTIVE PROCEDURE OF THE RETAINING WALLstep 1Stroke of the foundation of the wall in the groundAll the outline of the base of the foundation is traced, in all its extension.step 2Excavation of the foundation of the wallExcavates the entire traced area and controls the height of the excavation.Take care that the bottom of the trench is even and clean.Verify that there is no organic material in the entire ditch, such as roots, animal remains, or others.
This is to avoid any kind of collapse with the passage of time.It prevents the ditch from being used as garbage while it is kept open or exposed.step 3soledApply the flooring , which consists of emptying a small layer of poor concrete , or the mixture of cement and sand, to generate a flat surface, where the location of the steel will be traced.step 4Placing the steel reinforcement for the wallPlace the steel of the foundation and at the same time the steel of the wall itself.Check that the steel grid of the foundation is isolated or separated from the ground by placing dice lean concrete .
This way we guarantee that the grill is at the height indicated by the construction plan made by a specialist.
The vertical steel must be perfectly horizontal.step 5Emptying the concrete of the foundation of the wallAlways take care of the verticality of the steel of the wall and that it does not move from the grill or from the set of iron rods in the foundation .
Then, the concrete is emptied .Prepare the concrete on a surface free of organic material such as roots, plants, debris, and so on.Construction of retaining wall, cement bag, wheelbarrow with concrete, dripping canopy, build well, master Construction retaining wall, worker throws cement in ditch, builds well, master step 6Placement of drain pipesAs soon as the concrete has been emptied from the foundation , prepare the main body of the concrete wall.
Do not forget to check the verticality of the wall prior to the placement of the drainage tubes .step 7Formwork of the retaining wallBefore forming or molding the wall, verify the correct vertical and horizontal steel placement.Place the formwork or mold, checking that the face of the wood is separated from the steel; for this we will use the concrete dice again .Never use wood, tin, stone, or any other material other than concrete dies .
