What do I need to do to prepare to receive blocks?

Be prepared to receive blocks to ensure a smooth delivery process.

Block Lay Down Area: 
  • You will need to ensure you have sufficient space to store the blocks between unloading the truck and installing the blocks.
  • Each block takes up 0.72m2, blocks can be stacked to a max of 4 blocks high.
    • You may need to consider site specific H&S requirements, blocks may be stack to a max of 2 or 3 blocks high so an individual can hook the lifting klaw during installation.
  • Avoid placing blocks on muddy or soft ground, this will cause the block to be unstable and will affect the aesthetics of the block.
  • Place the blocks as close of feasible to the place they will be installed. This will increase the speed of installation and reduce double handling of blocks.
  • Consider how the blocks are stored - blocks used at the base of the wall should be easily accessible first.
  • A forklift is the most cost effective and efficient way of unloading trucks, handling blocks onsite, and installing the blocks.
