Retaining structures

SoluForm topsoil filled MSE bagwork can be used to construct and repair reinforced soil walls. Typically concrete blocks or wire mesh are used to support a sloping soil mass. By using topsoil filled bagwork the root systems of vegetation planted into the bagwork are used to reinforce and stablise the earth in place of concrete or wire

Reno Mattress Plus from Maccaferri is a stone-filled riverbank erosion control mattress. Traditional river bank protection made with loose stones (rip-rap) requires a thick layer of material to be effective. This is because the rip-rap stones are not confined and the layers cannot be accurately placed, resulting in higher stone consumption with an

Textomur consists of horizontal geogrids or geotextiles typically at 600mm vertical centres within compacted cohesive or granular fill material. The facing to the slopes is formed using a steel mesh ‘formwork' backed by a geosynthetic facing fabric which retains a layer of topsoil immediately behind the face. The finished slope can be hydroseeded

Greenfix coir rolls are unplanted, natural fibre rolls made from coir, designed for immediate soft edge erosion control along river banks, streams, canals, lake edges and ponds.

Hexagonal woven mesh gabions are manufactured from a mesh that has a hexagonal opening which is formed by twisting pairs of wire together with one and a half turns (sometimes referred to as triple or double twist). This type of mesh production is continuous. To form panels, the mesh is guillotined across the weave and the cut ends of the wire are

Bi-axial welded mesh gabions are manufactured from a square mesh, normally of opening size 75.0mm × 75.0mm where the longitudinal wires are welded to the cross wires at their intersection points. This type of fabric manufacture produces a dimensionally stable mesh. The mesh is produced in standard sheets which are then cut into the required panel

The DT gabion is a double-twisted wire mesh container of variable sizes uniformly partitioned into internal cells. They are interconnected with other similar units and filled with stone at the project site to form flexible, permeable, monolithic structures such as mass gravity walls, channel linings, revetments and weirs for geotechnical, hydraulic and erosion control projects

StoneFence™ is a decorative gabion walling system. Twin welded wire mesh panels create a divide that allows you to display the beauty of local stone, broken brick or other recycled products.
