Slope reinforcement and retaining walls cover a wide range of products from hard armor systems to more environmentally friendly vegetated approaches that meet the regulatory agency’s criteria allowing for construction approval. We carry geogrids, Geoweb, gabions, and earth anchor systems. The various systems that we promote will require engineering help to ensure proper design. R. H. Moore & Associates, Inc., as well as the manufacturers we represent offer this design support to engineering companies at no charge.
Maccaferri Gabions & Terramesh System Gabions Gabion retaining structures are rectangular wire mesh baskets filled with rock at the project site to form flexible, permeable, monolithic structures, such as gabion retaining walls for commercial, industrial and road projects. They are also used for erosion control for bank stabilization, channel linings, and gabion weirs. Gabion strength…
Presto Geosystems Perforated GEOWEB for Earth Retention Presto’s perforated GEOWEB® cellular confinement system features an engineered pattern of perforations in the cell wall. This hole pattern provides increased frictional interlock with coarse aggregates, crushed rock and concrete. In vegetated systems, the perforations increase root lock-up, creating a more stable vegetated mass and overall healthier soil…
TenCate Miramesh GR, SG, & FR Woven Mesh Geosynthetics TenCate Miramesh® biaxial geosynthetics have been used successfully on MSE walls and slopes providing an alternative facing to hard armor concrete and masonry block facing. Miramesh® may also be used under permeable pavers and channel blocks as a separation layer below the units or to separate…
TenCate Miragrid® XT Miragrid® XT uniaxial geogrids are high performance woven polyester and polymer-coated geogrids used for soil reinforcement. Miragrid® XT is also used in mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) applications including internally reinforced walls, segmental retaining walls (SRW’s), and steepened slopes. Miragrid® XT uniaxial geogrids provide high, long-term design strengths (LTDS) and excellent soil interaction.…
Flex MSE Vegetated Geobag Wall Units Flex MSE is a cost-effective, sustainable and permanent engineered solution. The Flex MSE Vegetated Wall System uses the same globally accepted principles of Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) that builders rely on for making massive retaining walls. Geobag walls have been built as high as 75 feet with great success.…
