WIRE MESH SLOPEAND RETAININGWALL SYSTEMSEconomical, EngineeredGeosynthetic ReinforcedSlopes and Walls

Vegetated Green SlopesRock Faced SlopesThe combination of a wire basketfacing, Miramesh TM GR secondaryreinforcement wrap and Miragrid®‚geogrid primary soil reinforcementproduces a green steepened slope.These systems are cost-effectivewhile providing an aestheticallypleasing structure. The soilreinforcement offers tensile strengthto the slope while the facing systemprovides long-term vegetationgrowth controlling erosion atthe face. The walls can be seededconventionally, hydro-seededor sodded.The combination of a wire basketfacing, BasXgrid®‚ biaxial geogridwrap and Miragrid®‚ geogrid soilreinforcement produces an aggregatefacing. These systems are costeffectiveand reliable. AggregateFaced Systems are best suited forstructure geometries that are toosteep to support vegetation and forareas like detention ponds wherehard armour protection is required.Temporary Walls/SlopesThe combination of a wirebasketfacing, Armtec non-wovengeotextile wrap and Miragrid® soilreinforcement or Geolon® HP and HSHigh Strength Woven Geotextilesproduces a cost effective and reliabletemporary wall facing. Temporarywalls reinforced with Mirafi®geosynthetics are a valuable toolfor construction sites that need todivert traffic, water flow orapply a surcharge to consolidatefoundation soils while maintainingthe existing surroundings.3
