III. Backfill
Place and compact the first lift of specified backfill up to the first row of soil reinforcement
mats. Use hand operated compactors within 3 feet of the panel.
Place soil reinforcement mats into the wall connectors and install the locking rod.
Remove any slack in the connection by using a wooden wedge between the panel and
transverse wire.
The use of tie wire in this connection system is neither recommended or required. If tie
wire is used, it must be coated to prevent galvanic reaction. Uncoated tie wire should
never be used with this wall system.
Continue installing and compacting backfill in specified lifts to the next level of
connectors. (Do not operate tracked equipment on reinforcing mats. Equipment with
rubber tires can be used, but with extreme caution.)
