Product Information
Specifications
- Materials and workmanship to comply with relevant Australian
standards - Concrete strength: Footing = N20, Concrete Sleeper = N40
- Maximum aggregate size: 20mm
- Reinforcement grade: ‘N’ denotes Grade 500 deformed bar, ‘R’
denotes Grade 230 plain round bar - Fencing bracket designed for full shielding with specific
properties surrounding the fence
Product Usage Instructions
Retaining Wall
- Ensure surcharge live loads do not exceed 2.5 kPa
- Engage an RPEQ geotechnical engineer to assess the design
against global slip - Prepare the ground by removing topsoil containing organic
material before foundation - Avoid positioning any structure on top of the wall within its
height
Concrete
- Construct concrete work in accordance with AS3600
standards - Avoid adding water to concrete on-site
- Ensure surface finishes comply with AS3600 standards
- Follow clear cover requirements for reinforcement as per
AS3600
Fence Bracket
Install fencing bracket with consideration for full shielding
and specific property surroundings as per design assumptions.
FAQ
Q: Can I use a different concrete strength than specified?
A: It is recommended to use the specified concrete strengths for
optimal performance and safety.
Q: Do I need to engage a geotechnical engineer for all
retaining wall installations?
A: It is advisable to engage a geotechnical engineer, especially
for assessing global stability.
GENERAL NOTES

ALWAYS CROSS REFERENCE LEVELS WITH THE LATEST ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS FOR RL’S. 5. THE BUILDER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ADEQUACY OFF ALL TEMPORARY WORKS INCLUDING PROPPING AND BRACING. WHERE NECCESARY THE BUILDER SHALL ENGAGE THE SERVICES OF A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER TO DESIGN AND CERTIFY TEMPORARY WORKS. 6. THE METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION AND HEALTH AND SAFETY DURING CONSTRUCTION ARE THE RESPONSIBILTY OF THE BUILDER. IF STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS POSE RISK OR DIFFICULTY WHEN CONSTRUCTING, ADVICE SHALL BE SOUGHT FROM THE STRUCTURAL ENGINEER. 7. ALL MEMEBERS MENTIONED ON THESE DRAWINGS, ARE SUPERSLEEPER PRODUCTS. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE DETAILS BE USED WITH OTHER PRODUCTS WITHOUT SUPERSLEEPER AUTHORISATION. 8. ANY DISCREPANCY WITH MEMBER SIZES, FIXINGS,COMPONENTS OR OMISSIONS SHALL BE REFERRED TO THE SUPERSLEEPER. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL ASSUMPTIONS BE MADE WHETHER FOR PRICING, CONSTRUCTION OR OTHER SERVICE.
RETAINING WALL
1. SURCHARGE LIVE LOADS: 2.5 kPa. NO ADDITIONAL IMPOSED LOADS OF ANY STRUCTURES WITHIN THE RETAINING WALL ZONE OF INFLUENCE.
2. THIS DESIGN HAS NOT BEEN VERIFIED FOR GLOBAL STABILITY. AS PER GOOD WORKING PRACTICE AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH AS4678, AN RPEQ GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEER MUST BE ENGAGED BY THE CLIENT TO ASSESS THE DESIGN AGAINST GLOBAL SLIP.
3. BUILDER TO PREPARE GROUND FOR FOUNDATION BY REMOVAL OF ANY TOPSOIL CONTAINING ORGANIC MATERIAL. 4. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL ANY STRUCTURE BE POSITIONED ON TOP OF THE WALL WITHIN HEIGHT OF THE
WALL, REGARDLESS WHETHER THE STRUCTURE IS ON SCREW PILES. 5. THE FOUNDATION DEPTHS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED USING TYPICAL SOIL PARAMETERS. FOUNDATION MATERIAL
SHALL BE CONFIRMED AND APPROVED PRIOR TO POURING OF CONCRETE BY A COMPETENT PERSONAL AND DOCUMENTED
CONCRETE
1. CONCRETE WORK SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AS3600. 2. CONCRETE STRENGTH: FOOTING = N20, CONCRETE SLEEPER = N40 AT 28 DAYS SLUMP TO BE 80mm AND MAXIMUM
AGGREGATE SIZE 20mm. 3. DO NOT ADD WATER TO CONCRETE ON SITE. 4. SURFACE FINISHES TO BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH AS3600. 5. CLEAR COVER TO REINF. TO AS3600 AND UNLESS NOTED OTHERWISE TO BE: SLAB ON GROUND 30mm TOP COVER,
FOOTINGS 50mm COVER 6. REINFORCEMENT TO AS1302, ‘N’ DENOTES GRADE 500 DEFORMED BAR, ‘R’ DENOTES GRADE 230 PLAIN ROUND BAR,
‘L’ DENOTES HARD DRAWN WIRE FABRIC TO AS1304. MIN. LAP OF REINFORCEMENT UNLESS NOTED OTHERWISE TO BE 50*REO DIA. (eg. N12 LAP = 12*50 = 600mm) AND 200mm FOR FABRIC. 7. CONCRETE SURFACES TO BE CURED BY AN APPROVED METHOD FOR SEVEN DAYS IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE CONCRETE IS HARD. 8. WHEN BUILDING OVER OR NEAR SEWER OR STORMWATER SERVICES, PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING A. OBTAIN APPROVAL FROM LOCAL COUNCIL AUTHORITY PRIOR TO ANY CONSTRUCTION B. CONFIRM SERVICES INVERT LEVEL AND AND ALIGNMENT PRIOR TO EXCAVATION .
FENCE BRACKET
FENCING BRACKET DESIGNED TAKING INTO ACCOUNT FULL SHEILDING WITH AT LEAST 2 PROPERTIES SURROUNDING THE FENCE (MS = 0.85), IMPORTANCE LVL 1, REGION B, HAS BEEN ASSUMED. Mt = 1.0, CAT = 3.0. IF THESE ARE TO CHANGE PLEASE NOTIFY SUPERSLEEPER.
