Galintel® Retaining Wall Joiner Posts are heavy duty steel available in a Fully Hot Dip Galvanized finish for corrosion protection. All posts are pre-drilled to accommodate the unique designed Fence Brackets.
Galvanized Retaining Wall Posts are the foundation for a retaining wall system, converting concrete sleepers into retaining walls. Simply slip sleepers in between the post system and you can quickly and easily create a solid retaining wall. Perfect for bounding soil at separate elevations.
Best Used For:
The H Section post is designed for placement between two straight angle sections of timber/concrete sleeper, within a retaining wall.
Prepare the Area –
1. Clear and level your site where you plan to build the retaining wall. Ensure you leave 300mm behind the retaining wall area for backfill.
2.Alignment – Place a star piquet or peg at both ends of the proposed wall. Attach two string lines at each end of the wall, top and bottom, to keep your wall aligned.
3.Mark out Hole Positions – Starting from one end of the wall, mark a cross on the ground at intervals with their centre being approximately 20mm more than the length of the sleeper. For example: If you are using 1530mm sleepers the hole centres should be 1550mm apart – note, this will vary based on the length of sleeper used.
4.Auger Holes and Pour Concrete – Auger holes as per your engineers specifications as approved by council. – Pour concrete into holes, one at a time. – Make the concrete stiff. If using readymix concrete, order 20/20, 80 slump. – Set your post by lowering into ground until level with the top string lines. – Ensure there is a minimum lean back of 30mm for every 1.0m in height.
5.Checking Posts – Use a spirit level to make sure all your posts are aligned with the string line and are perpendicular on the sides. – It is also important to measure the remaining distance to the top of your steel posts, to ensure the sleepers finish flush with the top of the posts. – If required, lay a concrete pad on both sides of the steel post.
