We have researched and developed new innovative mechanically stabilised earth walls during the last few decades keeping Henri Vidal\u2018s pioneering legacy alive. One such invention is TerraLink\u00ae, an anchored MSE retaining wall system.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Shored Retaining Wall or SRW is a method of designing a Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) retaining wall that uses an existing structure in behind like a retaining wall, rock face, stabilized slope, or other structure to reduce lateral earth pressure on the new wall. This method can be used when there is not enough distance available behind the proposed wall face to build an MSE retaining wall with a conventional or trapezoidal base width.<\/p>\n

Shored mechanically stabilised earth walls are often used to widen roadways and bridge abutments, in situations where the existing structures still retain much of their original service life but must be improved to carry new loads or an increased traffic volume. Our Shored MSE walls like TerraLink\u00ae<\/a> have proven to be an excellent solution for upgrading transportation infrastructure.<\/p>\n
