Mechanically Stabilized Earth Retaining Walls

Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) retaining walls combine geosynthetic-reinforced earth layers (such as geogrids) and a fascia of geocell, wire mesh or concrete blocks to create high-strength, versatile earth retention systems. The geogrid reinforces the soil while the fascia protects the wall face. The versatility of MSE walls makes them suitable for a variety of applications, from road structures to golf courses.

Armtec offers numerous fascia options, including geocells, segmental block, wire mesh and Bin-Wall. The popular Lock+Load system is a segmental, reinforced-concrete, reinforced-soil retaining wall that creates an attractive quarried stone appearance, at exceptional value.
