Reinforced Earth\u00ae MSE wall solution<\/h2>\n

We developed the Reinforced Earth\u00ae<\/a> mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) retaining wall technology more than 60 years ago. This innovation revolutionized the way retaining walls are designed today around the world. We offer a high-performance and durable mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall solution that is rapid and easy to install. Reinforced Earth\u00ae consists of engineered backfill that is reinforced with a choice of engineered elements, normally galvanized steel or geosynthetics. These soil reinforcements are connected to concrete facing panels.<\/p>\n

TerraTrel\u00ae<\/a> wire faced Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls<\/h2>\n

This is a Reinforced Earth\u00ae structure where a wire facing is used instead of traditional front facing concrete precast panels. The placed and compacted backfill behind the wire facing is layered with either high-adherence (HA) steel strips or welded wire bar mat elements. These elements are structurally connected to the wire facing creating a structure capable of supporting heavy loading and tolerant to settlement and deformation while remaining operable for all the same purposes as concrete clad MSE walls.<\/p>\n

GeoMega\u00ae MSE wall solution<\/h2>\n

GeoMega\u00ae<\/a> is a Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) wall system whereby the soil reinforcing elements consist of high-strength extensible geosynthetic reinforcing strips (GeoStrap\u00ae) connected through a patented sleeve embedded in precast concrete facing panels. GeoMega\u00ae MSE walls are ideal for construction in seawater and other corrosively aggressive environments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

T-Wall\u2122 precast modular wall solution<\/h2>\n

T-Wall\u2122<\/a>, as its name suggests is a \u201cT\u201d shaped gravity-type retaining wall that is built by assembling modular precast concrete units combined with granular backfill. The perpendicular stems of these precast concrete units allow internal stability, providing pullout resistance against the lateral earth pressures applied on the back of the facing.<\/p>\n

TerraLink\u00ae shored MSE wall solution<\/h2>\n

TerraLink\u00ae<\/a> shored MSE allows for the construction of retaining walls in geometrically narrow sites. Installation is carried out in front of a stable, existing structure such as a stabilized slope or retaining wall. TerraLink\u00ae wall, therefore, involves connecting the shored MSE mass to the existing structure through a choice of soil reinforcements.<\/p>\n

Sound Absorbing Panels<\/h2>\n

Sound absorbing panels<\/a> are an add-on feature for our retaining wall systems to mitigate sound. These specially designed sound absorbing panels are used instead of the traditional concrete facing panels in our MSE systems depending on the clients\u2019 requirements to ensure more absorption of sound to create a better environment for humans and wildlife.<\/p>\n

Common Applications<\/h2>\n

Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) retaining walls can be used in various market sectors, and can be used as part of:<\/p>\n
