Additional Training Resources:

Online Retaining Wall Installation Videos
The videos we have posted on YouTube at www.youtube.com/user/RetainingWallSystems
provide an introduction to proper retaining wall installation. These videos are available in English and Spanish. They also are available on DVD.

VERSA-TECH Online Academy
The VERSA-Tech Online Academy is a self-paced course on the VERSA-LOK web site that provides a detailed overview of segmental retaining walls, site planning, and installation steps.

Retaining Wall Design and Installation Guides
Our Design & Installation Guides for VERSA-LOK Standard, Mosaic® and Square Foot systems are available in downloadable PDF format and as printed manuals.

Retaining Wall Estimating Software
To estimate materials for complex projects, or to get more detailed estimates, use VERSA-LOK’s Solid Solutions Estimating Software. This easy-to-use application is available to qualified contractors, architects, engineers and specifiers from licensed VERSA-LOK manufacturers. The software automatically calculates the number of units and pins, and quantities of geogrid and aggregate, needed for any size project.

Important: Walls that support heavy loads or exceed four feet in height require special soil reinforcement and often professionally engineered designs. Please consult a qualified engineer if unsure about any construction, site or soil conditions. Also be sure to check local building codes before designing or constructing a retaining wall.
