ArmorWedge®
1. ArmorWedge is delivered as palletized units.
2. Vegetation and obstructions such as roots and projecting stones are removed. Holes, soft areas and land cavities are filled and compacted with suitable materials.
3. Excavate toe, terminal and upper slope trenches and smooth sub-grade as required.
4. Site-specific geotextile filter fabric is placed over the prepared sub-grade (See insert pictured to the right).
5. The use of a free-draining filter layer beneath the units will be contingent upon the severity of the site-generated hydraulic parameters (See insert B pictured to the right).
6. A batter board is placed and staked along the near bottom edge of the area to be protected with ArmorWedge concrete units.
7. Place ArmorWedge units in direct lateral contact with each other in a staggered running bond configuration making sure contact is made between each unit until the desired limits of protection are reached.
8. Finish upper slope and toe trenches and fill with edge restraint of cast-in-place concrete or pre-cast item (See inserts C and D pictured to the right).
9. Remove batter board and place lower row / rows and any remaining upper row/rows of ArmorWedge units.
