VERSA-LOK Mosaic Retaining Wall System

W elcome to the VERSA LOKMosaicRetaining Wall System Design and Installation Guidelines. This guide applies to both the Mosaic system and its individual units. The Mosaic system comprises three retaining wall units: VERSA LOK Standard, VERSA LOK Accent, and VERSA LOK Cobble. Although each is an integral part of the Mosaic system, each can stand on its own as a separate entity retaining wall system. However, 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 4 feet. Individual site, soil and loading conditions (including terraces) may limit unreinforced wall heights to less than 4 feet.Taller walls require soil reinforcement and engineering assistance. In addition to this guide, VERSA LOK of fers a variety of technical support, including in house engineering assistance and reference literature. Please call (800) 770 4525 with questions about Mosaic, Accent or Cobble Retaining W all Systems, or to request additional literature. The following technical materials were written for use of VERSA LOK Standard units; however, the general principles apply to Mosaic walls as well.
