Claim Text:
1. A system for rapidly assembling a two-sided wall through and around a pre-installed structural steel grid, comprising: the structural grid including vertical and horizontal reinforcing members having a predetermined length and height, a first side, and an opposite side; a plurality of wall units, each of said wall units having a planar first surface and a second surface configured with at least one extending, interlocking element; wherein a first of said wall units is positioned with said second surface oriented to face the first side of the structural grid and said extending, interlocking element is disposed through a space between said vertical and horizontal reinforcing members, and a second of said wall units is positioned on said opposite side of the structural grid, said second wall unit is radially translated about an axis to bring said extending, interlocking element of said second wall unit into complete interlocking engagement with said extending, interlocking element of said first wall unit so as to prevent said first wall unit and said second wall unit from separating apart from the structural grid and from one another; wherein said wall units are arranged in courses such that each set of said courses froms a facing so that said wall units in one facing in said first side are in back-to-back relation to said wall units in the opposed facing in said opposite side; and wherein said wall units are installed in said courses around and through the structural grid and said wall units cooperate with said interlocking element to create a continuous void in the space between wall units positioned on opposing sides of the structural grid, such that voids between any two opposing wall units are in fluid communication with the voids between any and all other wall units in the assembly, such that a fill material is poured into the continuous void at one or more places in the assembled wall and the void fill material substantially fills the continuous void.
