Anchored Gabion Facing and Other Types
Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) retaining walls are a modern construction technology that combines compacted fill material, high-tensile geogrid layers (or reinforcing strips), and facing systems to form a stable gravity structure. This solution not only offers superior cost efficiency compared to conventional reinforced concrete retaining walls, but also provides excellent adaptability to weak foundation soils and areas subject to large deformations.
Product Features
The anchored gabion facing retaining wall solution combines the drainage capability of gabions with the tensile strength of geogrids, creating a flexible and environmentally friendly structure. The system consists of gabion units filled with rock fragments, installed either manually or mechanically, together with high-strength reinforcing layers, typically geogrids, extending deep into the reinforced soil mass to form a stable yet flexible structure.
This solution is widely applied in mountainous terrains, steep roadway sections with high retaining walls, and areas with complex hydrological conditions. It is particularly suitable for projects requiring a “soft” engineering solution capable of accommodating large ground deformations without causing structural cracking or failure.
