I'm working on a 11' segmented block retaining wall. The contractor wants to use Anchor Wall Diamond Pro Block. I looked on the Anchor wall website and have downloaded their details and noticed that they don't use fiber glass pins for the geosynthetic connections.

In the past, we have specified Keystone walls which use fiberglass pins to connect the geosynthetic.

I'm having trouble getting information from Anchorwall. What are everyone's thoughts about the proposed connection from anchor wall. (Please see attachment)
 
Don't buy Anchor Wall.... unless they can give you more ENGINEERED info.

Other companies like Versa-Lok, etc have very good tech manuals..
