Reinforced Soil Structures

REINFORCED SOIL STRUCTURES

Flexible systems for slopes, retaining walls and embankments.

APPLICATION EXAMPLES

  • Reinforced soil slope with a fully established vegetation cover over the whole face.

    Vegetated Reinforced Slope

    Reinforced soil slope with a vegetated face: layered reinforcement, drainage and protective mesh.

  • STRUCTURAL PERFORMANCE

    Loads, stability and service conditions are assessed for each structure.

  • DESIGN FLEXIBILITY

    Adaptable to site conditions, structure height and application.

  • MODULAR CONSTRUCTION

    Modular systems are assembled in repeating lifts as construction proceeds.
