                               Make sure you have approved final design and construction plans

                    DON’T:  DO NOT verify conditions onsite without visual confirmation
                               Fill out Required tools checklist – verify all equipment onsite and
 Required Tools     DO:         ready for use

                    DON’T:  DO NOT begin installation until all equipment is onsite

 Training           DO:        Make sure installation team receives training from supervisor


                    DON’T:  DO NOT install Tough-Cells without training
                               Mark route with rope
 Layout             DO:        Anchor stakes equally spaced along road/rail right of way
                                (every 49 / 52 cm depending on cell size)

                    DON’T:  DO NOT skip any stakes
                               Use the correct number of staples per panel
 Fastening          DO:         (1 staple / 2.54 cm of cell height, e.g., 5 staples in 12 cm height cell)

                    DON’T:  DO NOT use less than the required number of staples

 Opening Sections DO:          Verify that cells are aligned in the correct direction

                    DON’T:  DO NOT walk or drive vehicles on empty cells
                               Confirm specified infill soil is as specified in design

                               Verify that infill soil (with high percentage of fines/cohesive) is dry;
 Infill Placement   DO:         In rainy weather, cover infill materials with tarps, covers
                               Verify that all cells overfilled by 7 cm before grading/compaction
                               Remove large rocks or debris

                    DON’T:  DO NOT infill wet soil – may cause project failure
                               Verify full compaction for each layer according to specifications –
 Compaction         DO:         full compaction is critical to project success
                               Verify that all cells overfilled by at least 2 cm after compaction

                    DON’T:  DO NOT compact wet soil – may cause project failure

 Safety &                      Adhere to safety standards and procedures
