GEOSYNTHETICS FOR REINFORCING SLOPES & RETAINING WALLS

Geofabrics offers a range of engineered slope and retaining wall solutions used to construct infrastructure projects.

For slopes over 70 degrees, Gabions can accommodate significant differential settlement. The mesh baskets form a monolithic structure that acts as one homogeneous unit, which is permeable and suitable for use in high stress hydraulic applications.

Reinforced Soil Slope (RSS) systems and Mechanically Stabilised Earth (MSE) walls constructed with a versatile wire mesh system can be more cost-effective than the mass gravity gabion wall, due to faster installation and reduced rock fill requirements.

When vegetation is required on the face of an MSE slope, the wire mesh system can be filled with soil and planted, creating a green wall.

How Geofabrics can help with reinforcing slope and retaining walls:

• Developing temporary and permanent measures to reinforce slopes and encourage revegetation in the harshest of conditions. 
• Improved surface stability of mild slopes, water courses and spillways
• Large height retaining walls
• Protection of workers and assets from instability of rock faces
