Phi Group - reinforced soil walls

The use of reinforced soils is mainly used in areas of fill to support elevated levels. These walls can be vertical with the block wall systems, or have a stone/soil finished batter between 50 and 70 degrees.

Textomur – 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 to establish grass, or planted with appropriate ground cover shrubs. A stone face finish can also be achieved for slopes above 65°. The system has a minimum design life of 60 years.
Can be built with site-won cohesive fill materials. This can generate substantial savings on import of granular fill and muck-away of cohesive arisings.
Can be built with curves, corners, terraces, varying wall heights and steps.

Modular Block - Dry Laid Modular Block retaining wall systems offer affordable solutions to earth retention needs. With a high quality split face finish, they are immediately serviceable.

Concrete Panel – A robust structure that can accommodate high workingand dead loads associated with bridge abutments and other large retaining walls.
