45 • "Use the right technology for the right application. For example, consider need and possibility to achieve various settlement/rigidity constraints and match service level to appropriate cost for application." • "Providing a sound and firm foundation for support of the wall; and providing proper drainage within the wall system and adjacent to the wall geometry." • "Performance depends on quality of construction and quality of retained backfill materials." • "Make sure the contractor is using the specified reinforced fill material and is constructing according to plans." • "By having a formal wall approval process we have limited the use of modular block wall systems and the deterioration of these facing elements due to deicing chemicals." • "The systems can last forever but must be designed and built correctly." • "Electrochemical property requirements for backfill material were not specified for one wall built in the late 70s.
