What Are Mechanically Stabilized Retaining Walls?
Mechanically stabilized retaining walls (MSRW), or mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls, are a type of retaining wall that uses layers of soil to reinforce and support structures. They are specially designed for areas with significant elevation changes. Their reinforcement features evenly distribute load bearing and prevent soil from shifting. At the same time, their facing elements provide structural support and help reduce erosion. Because of their durability and easy adaptation to diverse environments, MSRWs are preferred for many civil and municipal engineering projects.
What Are the Applications for MSRWs?
Mechanically stabilized retaining walls can fulfill a wide range of structural systems, including the following:
MSRWs often support and protect roadway embankments, overpasses, and bridge abutments.
If you need stability for your slopes, elevated tracks, or railway supports, an MSRW may be a suitable solution.
Ensure safety and comfort on your local walkways and paths with our advanced support and protection.
Is an MSRW Right for Me?
When considering a mechanically stabilized retaining wall, your project site’s soil should be a key consideration. This wall type depends on compacted backfill for stability, so it is best suited for environments with healthy granular and well-draining soil. If you think an MSRW is right for you, contact the team at MPW Infrastructure. Our team will assess your civic project requirements, goals, and environmental concerns, enabling us to develop the proper retaining wall for your needs.
