Slope Reinforcement & Retaining Walls

The Miragrid® XT geogrids are used for reinforcing modular block walls and slope reinforcement systems. Miragrid® XT products provide the highest long-term design strengths of any geogrid in the industry. These highly durable polyester geogrids provide excellent creep resistance and high strengths developed from a unique weaving process. TenCate Mirafi has engineers on staff that can help an engineer choose which XT geogrid would be suitable for your application.

TenCate Miramesh® geosynthetics provide surface erosion protection and secondary reinforcement in MSE structures. The erosion protection facilitates establishment of vegetation and provides structural support for the forming of battered and vertical face MSE walls and oversteepened slopes. The secondary reinforcement facilitates compaction and prevents surficial sloughing at the slope face.

Presto GEOWEB® earth retention system utilizes the same cellular confinement system discussed earlier in this presentation. A GEOWEB® retaining wall offers many benefits, such as desirable aesthetics and the ease to transport and construct in difficult locations. GEOWEB® will not degrade like the timber based, concrete or steel wall systems. The multilayer GEOWEB® system features horizontal terraces with exposed outer fascia cells creating a natural environment for sustainable vegetation. Presto Products will provide a preliminary design for all of their products at no charge.

Maccaferri Gabions are rectangular baskets made of heavy galvanized and PVC coated double twisted steel woven wire mesh. These single unit constructed baskets are laced together and filled with stones to form flexible, permeable, monolithic structures such as retaining walls, weir structures, and channel linings.

Maccaferri Terramesh® System is a versatile modular system used for soil reinforcement applications such as mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls; reinforced slope systems (RSS) and soil reinforcement. It is used for commercial, industrial, road works, erosion control, and bank stabilization.

Flex MSE is a patented engineered solution for vegetated retaining walls and erosion control. The bags and interlocking plates are used to build naturally resilient geomodular structures. Flex MSE is a patented system which leverages Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) principles along with geotextile technology to create strong and easy to install geomodular block structures.
