SYSTEM CAPABILITY

The table below sets out the typical capability of the system and the corresponding values recorded on a completed project.

Values depend on soil, fill, groundwater, loads and engineering calculation.

Number of reinforcement layers, reinforcement length, slope steepness and drainage detailing are determined by project-specific design.
