The use of geosynthetics within mechanically stabilized earth walls and reinforced soil slopes allow for vertical grade changes along highways and at building sites at substantially less cost than conventional retaining walls.
Conventional retaining walls are gravity structures which must be massive enough to resist the destabilizing forces of the retained fill.
Reinforced soil walls create gravity retaining structures out of the fill itself by incorporating geosynthetic reinforcement into the design.
Unlike conventional retaining walls, reinforced soil walls are constructed by compacting fill soil in layers between intermittent horizontal layers of FlexGrid UX.
FlexGrid UX is incorporated into the fill soil to assure stability to the entire soil/facing system.
