Soil Reinforcing Gabion Walls - Gabion Faced Soil Retaining Wall

Gabion faced reinforced soil walls are a system whose structural stability is achieved by virtue of reinforcement layers of polymer geogrids and steel mesh gabion baskets. These polymer geogrids and steel mesh gabion basket are placed in the soil to form a soil retaining work.

This type of structure costs less time and labor.

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.
