Reinforced soil walls

Green Terramesh® is an environmentally-friendly, modular system used to form vegetated (green) faced soil-reinforced slopes (RSS) and embankments. It consists of pre-fabricated units of double-twisted wire mesh lined with an erosion control blanket and stiffened with a welded mesh panel. Pre-formed steel braces are supplied to be connected at the

GeoGrow's Rootlok vegetated wall system is an engineered green wall and slope solution made in the UK, designed for permanent erosion control and supporting vegetation growth. It uses interlocking HDPE plates and high-organic-content bags to create a stable, free-draining structure for retaining walls and slopes

Geoweb® is a retaining wall system built using open-celled horizontal terraces. The cells are filled with local materials and planted to create a green wall with a vegetated front face. The vegetated system allows rain water to collect through the cell wall, maximising stormwater collection and minimising run-off. The soil-filled front cells allow

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

Modular reinforced soil system used to form a gabion-faced MSE wall. The facing section of the unit is formed by connecting a back panel and diaphragms to the main fascia unit, creating the rectangular-shaped box used for stone confinement. The geogrid reinforcement, fascia and lid are all one continuous panel of mesh. Units are supplied in

Mineral Terramesh® is a unique and simple-to-install soil reinforcement system with a sloping rockface finish. It is suitable for where a modern, clean-faced aesthetic is preferred. Mineral Terramesh® can be used either alone or in conjunction with the company's ParaGrid® or ParaDrain® geogrids depending on the height of the reinforced soil

FlexMSE® is a patented vegetated retaining wall system for erosion control, landscaping, major infrastructure and bank stabilisation. The system uses MSE (Mechanically Stabilised Earth) principles along with geotextile technology. Non-woven FlexMSE® GTX bags are used in combination with patented 100% recycled interlocking plates to create strong

Greenlok™ is a geotextile-based retaining wall system designed for limited excavation sites and shaped to fit existing landscape contours or restore eroded embankments. Installation is straightforward and cost-effective compared to hard landscaping options. Geotextile bag system for retaining walls and embankments; requires minimal excavation

Phi Group Soil Panel system is a facing solution for soil nailed or anchored slopes, made from panels typically 200mm deep, filled with either seeded top soil for a green finish on slopes up to 60 degrees or graded stone for steeper slopes. Protects soil nail components and allows for a high quality, low maintenance finish: panel system for facing

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

As part of a major road widening scheme, the Flex MSE® vegetated wall system was specified by the design engineers for a soil-nail reinforced slope, offering a green alternative to traditional construction methods. Over 7,000,000 seeds were applied, via hydroseeding, onto the face of the Flex MSE® installation as part of an ambitious project run

GeoGrow were employed by a housing developer to design and install a solution to reinstate a failing storm drainage channel. The channel separated the rear gardens of several properties built on a previous development site. Erosion had caused the channel to narrow significantly, and as such the garden fences were collapsing. GeoGrow proposed a solution using the Rootlok Vegetated Wall System

A series of gabion walls lining Bonaly Burn below the Edinburgh ring road had progressively failed due to scour below the baskets and growth of vegetation through the installation. The local council required a greened solution, and decided to specify the Envirolok MSE vegetated wall system from Greenfix

GeoGrow were invited to provide a formal design for the supply and installation of a Rootlok vegetated wall system to part of the riverbank along the river Aire corridor between Wellington Bridge and Viaduct Road. The wall measured approximately 44m long and 3m high, and had a geogrid wraparound face to provide extra factors of safety

Gravitas International's Flex MSE® vegetated wall system was chosen by Costain CH2M for repair works to an area of carriageway embankment erosion, along a rural road at Motts Mill in Groombridge, East Sussex. The site featured several construction constraints including narrow geometry, a fragile cast iron water main under the road, and overhead

Maccaferri designed and manufactured an award-winning reinforced soil bund for the i54 Business Park in Staffordshire. The bund is a 260m long and 6.5m high (max), double-sided reinforced soil structure. The function of the bund is to discharge a planning condition to provide a landscaped screen between the new extension of the business park and Pendeford Hall nature reserve and caravan park

The Flex MSE® geo-modular block and interlocking plate system was specified for riverbank repairs and revetment replacement at War Memorial Park, Romsey. Test Valley Borough Council proposed to repair >270m of existing timber bank revetment that had failed, running through the site. This particular site has a number of SSSI designations with regard to

Phi Group's Textomur reinforced soil slope system has been used to great effect on a major highways scheme in West Wales. Principal Contractor, Alun Griffiths (Contractors) Ltd, appointed Phi Group to supply and install two Textomur reinforced soil slopes, whilst also providing design input for Jacobs, the scheme engineers. The A40 between

Phi Group carried out over £4m of retaining wall works at various Olympics sites. Works included Textomur reinforced earth systems, gabion retaining walls, concrete panel reinforced earth walls and soil nailing. A large amount of piling was also undertaken on the site, particularly for the

Caerphilly County Borough Council approached Phi Group to assess suitability and options for the widening of a carriageway and footpath on Hafodyrynys Road.
