MSE Walls

Mechanically stabilized earth walls rely on supportive, reinforcement system such as metal tiebacks, geogrid, or plastic cells filled with soil to hold back earth and prevent erosion.

Common Problems & Available Solutions


Looking for a sustainable and cost-effective solution for grade separation? Consider using geosynthetic systems that compliment and enhance your vegetation, creating a permanent "green" structure helping to reduce erosion, improve water quality, and enhance the overall aesthetics of the channel or ditch.

Geosynthetics can be used to distribute critical loads on a wall into the embankment, so that the wall face is not challenged. A common practice is to tether the wall face to rows of geogrid. By spreading the wall's load across a larger surface area, we can build safer, stronger, and surer structures.

What are MSE Walls?

MSE (Mechanically Stabilized Earth) walls are retaining walls that are designed to provide lateral stability to slopes and earth embankments. They consist of alternating layers of soil and reinforcement elements, such as geogrids and geotextiles, and are typically anchored to the ground using an anchor system.

The reinforcement elements provide tensile strength to the wall and prevent the soil from sliding or collapsing. MSE walls are often used in situations where a traditional retaining wall would be impractical or where there is a need for a more flexible, load-bearing structure. They are commonly used in the construction of roads, bridges, and other infrastructure projects, as well as in the stabilization of slopes in natural and man-made environments. MSE walls are known for their ability to withstand large loads and their ability to deform without failing, making them an effective and reliable solution for slope stabilization and retaining wall applications.
