Technical Considerations
- Reinforcement and grout details must follow project engineering requirements.
- U-block dimensions should be coordinated with standard blocks, cored blocks, and lintels.
- Installation sequencing should account for temporary support where required by the design.
Design and Installation Notes
- Confirm compatible block dimensions before ordering.
- Coordinate U-block courses with structural drawings and shop drawings.
- Avoid publishing load or span values without current product tables and engineer review.
