Reinforced Earth retaining wall
TERRATREL®
Reinforced Earth Company
Terratrel® MSE retaining walls are coherent gravity structures engineered to resist specific loading requirements. It combines the performance and structural integrity of Reinforced Earth and Retained Earth, with the economy of wire facing. The primary components of a Terratrel wall consist of alternating layers of granular backfill, and soil reinforcements to which a modular wire facing is attached. Its strength and stability are derived from the frictional interaction between the granular backfill and the reinforcements, resulting in a permanent and predictable bond that creates a unique composite construction material. Terratrel's wire facing and soil reinforcing elements are lightweight and easily transported to remote sites where they can be rapidly installed. The system can be designed to utilize discrete steel strip, welded wire bar mat or high-tenacity polyester based geostrap soil reinforcements, depending on the site specific requirements of the project.
