Seminars
Every year we conduct retaining wall installation seminars nationwide.
Contractors are invited to learn installation techniques, engineering
fundamentals, feature design and tips for accurate estimating
from authorized VERSA-LOK technical experts. At the conclusion of some seminars, attendees will be invited to take the National
Concrete Masonry Association (NCMA) certification exam.
Our 2010 seminar season has concluded. A schedule for 2011 seminars will be posted here late in 2010. In the meantime, feel free to make use of the additional training resources listed below.
Additional Training Resources:

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.
