Reinforced Earth\u00ae is the first choice for retaining walls.<\/h2>\n

Invented over 60 years ago, Reinforced Earth\u00ae MSE retaining wall solutions have long been the first choice for engineers designing earth retention, retaining walls, ground stabilization, and for solving most soil-structure interaction design challenges.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The original Reinforced Earth\u00ae, a signature innovation<\/h2>\n

More than sixty years ago, a new construction technology was invented by Henri Vidal consisting of granular soil and reinforcement working in harmony for great stability and strength.<\/p>\n

It was an invention that revolutionized the heavy civil construction industry. High internal friction, generated between granular fill and strategically embedded reinforcing strips allows the transfer of stress from the soil into the strips providing the resistance that soil alone does not otherwise possess. Reinforced Earth\u00ae MSE retaining wall structures combine select and controlled granular backfill with steel or geosynthetic tensile reinforcements and a modular facing system of precast concrete panels. This ideal combination creates a long-lasting gravity retaining structure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

First pioneered by Reinforced Earth, the concept of mechanically stabilized earth walls (MSE) \/ Retained soil systems (RSS) walls is used in multitude of construction applications. Our engineers work with our clients to apply this globally-recognized solution to solve many geotechnical challenges they face in building roads<\/a>, bridges<\/a>, embankments, industrial landscapes<\/a>, and more. Together, we solve problems that arise when seeking solutions for soil and structure interaction.<\/p>\n<\/div>
