ABSTRACT:
An elongate concrete element is adjustably secured to the top of a retaining wall to provide a cap which may be adjusted for elevation and inclination relative to the wall. The element is provided with a skirt which extends over the side of the wall to span the space between the element and the wall. The element provides a forming surface against which a cementitious material, such as a concrete roadway, may be poured. The forming surface and skirt prevent the cementitious material from passing through or over the wall. The element also provides a screeding edge for the cementitious material.
