RETAINED EARTH™

Retained Earth™ is one of the most widely accepted mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) systems in the nation. Over two million square meters of Retained Earth walls are in use for highway projects, bridge abutments, material storage facilities and grade separation structures. The flexibility of the system, which allows for some movement and settlement without cracking the facing panel, makes the system well suited to seismic zones and areas with poor foundation conditions. The system combines precast concrete panels with galvanized steel bar mats to reinforce the soil mass. The alternating layers of reinforcing mesh, select backfill and facing panels, create a stable composite material with excellent load-supporting characteristics. A mechanical connection to precast concrete panels, achieved with the use of a patented clevis loop, creates a system that is technically sound and highly reliable.
