Details About Assembling Genie Blocks

The interlocking design of Genie Blocks assures a snug, straight fit as blocks are placed atop each other. The assembly therefore is a simple 1-2-3 process as illustrated below.

The Genie Block is picked up from the source which could either be a truck or and on-ground inventory. A flatbed mounted crane is also a viable transportation / lift & place option if able to work in close quarters..
 

The lifting device then positions the block for placement on the wall while a bead of grout is laid down. The grout provides additional strength relative to shearing forces should an earthquake occur, but its primary function is as a sealant.
 

The block is then placed upon the wall and manually butted up against the preceding block in the line by a worker. At this point, any tension rods or conduits required are placed inside the wall as required by the building plans.
