Retaining wall with a wide variety of basket facing solutions Fortrac Gabion is a system consisting of a reinforced soil body and a facing of steel grid elements (so-called stone baskets or dump baskets). The soil body is reinforced by laying Fortrac geogrids and earth in layers. The facing is made of corrosion-protected steel grid elements. It is then individually filled with natural stones. Depending on the challenge, the backfilled steel grid components can actively contribute to the overall statics, e.g. as a heavyweight wall or bridge abutment or passively be attached or suspended from the reinforced soil body with an optical and protective function. With our system solutions you can realise inclinations up to 90° and very high retaining walls. The fast soil body construction as well as prefabricated, easy to fill and possibly prefilled gabion elements lead to very economical construction processes. With regard to noise protection, it has been proven that a corresponding system configuration can achieve the highly absorptive noise protection category A 3 according to German standards.
