i~• ,..~ =~. • R., ,c% SNeEY 2 of 4- -z- B. Assembly 1. Lay out grade plates at all vertical column locations and bring to proper elevation and grade. Insert the bolts in the grade plates with 5/8" spring nuts to hold them in place. NOTE: Grade plates should have 8" of soil cushion if wall sets on solid rock or unyielding soil. 2. Lay out one first-lift vertical connector and necessary connecting channels with nuts and bolts at each grade plate. Outside corners require half as many connect- ing channels as intermediate vertical connectors. Project drawing gives vertical connector lengths and number of splices to use to make up total vertical connector for various heights of wall. 3. Lay out one bottom spacer and two regular spacers between the two end vertical connectors and one bOtLOm spacer and one regular spacer between the interior vertical connectors. Note that bottom spacer is not as wide as the other spacers. 4. Attach connecting channels and spacers to vertical connectors making sure bottom spacer is on bottom. Do not tighten nuts snugly at this time. 5. Lay out 2 or 3 stringers between the asse„bled vertical connectors and spacers, back and front. 6. Beginning at one end of the Bin-Wall, attach a stringer to the grade plate and then to the connecting channel on the vertical connector. Do this or. each face of the Wall. Do not tighten nuts sr.ugiy at t!:is time. 7. Check alignment of all bins and tighten nuts on lower two stringers and bottom spacer for each bi.n. 8. Place stringers previously laid-out and tighter, ali nuts. 9. Partially fill the bins in 4" to 8" layers and tamp thoroughly. Work compacted fill material into the corrugations of all members, but do r.,t daaage wall sections with tamping equipment. Take care not to bulge the stringers or exterior spacers.
