WALL INFORMATION

Walls which are within the normal right of way are of primary concern. Walls outside of or that extend past the

right of way will have an agreement with the local owner for maintenance and inspection after construction.

To determine if a wall is composed of one wall or multiple separate walls, the wall “purpose” and “location”

should be considered.

Example: Three segments which retain the earth for an abutment is considered one wall.

Example: Breast walls for an abutment are considered one wall.

All walls should be listed in the field check memo. (see Field Check Template form).

To obtain a wall serial number assignment, please submit a completed “Wall Serial Number Request” form to

the Management Systems Analyst in the Special Assignments Section of the Bureau of Structures and

Geotechnical Services.

(see “Wall Serial Number Request” form on the following page of this document).

WALL SERIAL NUMBER REQUEST Walls must be at least 6’ tall from top of footing to top of the cap at the highest point of the wall.

Exception: all walls, regardless of height, that are attached to a structure having a span length of 10’ or

greater, are to be assigned a serial number.
