Installation on Curves

Curved Sections
Neoloy Tough-Cells can be easily adapted to moderate
curves by varying the degree of cell expansion.
3.   Vary the cell dimensions by over-expanding the
     outer cells and under-expanding the inner cells.
     NOTE: Under or over expanded cell size on
     curves must not exceed 15% of nominal cell
     dimensions (see Table 2). If exceeding this value,
     use tapered trapezoidal sections as below.




Tapered Trapezoidal Sections
A series of trapezoidal sections are the preferred method for covering wide curves or right angles.
1.   Expand one section downslope at the beginning of the curve on the curve.

2.   Expand the next adjacent section downslope and lift it over the previous section so that it overlaps and part of it
     lies on top of the previous section.

3.   Cut only the part of the overlapping section on top diagonally using a utility knife.

4.   Align the walls of the 2 adjacent sections and fasten together.

5.   Repeat this procedure to make sufficient tapered sections to cover the entire radius of the curve.

     NOTE: Save cut sections to be reused or disposed of properly at end of project.
