Gabion faced reinforced soil walls

Gabion faced reinforced soil walls are a system when the structural stability is achieved by virtue of reinforcement layers of polymer geogrids or steel mesh.These polymer geogrids or steel mesh are placed in the soil linked to a facing skin of gabion.

This type of structure costs less for walls 3 to 4m or more in height in fill situations.

As with mass of gravity walls, the gabion face is inclined at 6 degrees to the vertical and/or stepped.
Designers can select geogrids from a wide range of soil reinforcement systems to suit specific soil conditions including:
• Gabion faced soil reinforcement system using steel geogrids;
• Vegetating face slope reinforcement system using steel geogrids;
• Heavy-duty sheathed geogrids with strengths up to 1250kN/m for basal reinforcement and piled embankments;
• Polymer geogrids for slope reinforcement, segmental retaining walls and blockwork walls.
