The GeoTrel® (TerraTrel®) technology is used to construct temporary or permanent retaining walls for steep slopes or vertical walls which can be adapted to look more natural in the environment.
The GeoTrel® walls are constructed in a very similar way of Reinforced Earth® except they use steel mesh cladding panels.
The main elements of the system are the backfill.
The reinforcing elements are plastic strips (for GeoTrel®) and galvanized steel
strips (for TerraTrel®) which are placed horizontally in the soil block to
withstand horizontal soil pressure in order to maintain a stable body. The
cladding is backed by rock material which in turn is backed by a geofabric. A
green surface may be provided by hydro seeding method.
Advantages
of the system:
- High
quality
- No need for a truck crane, manual workman
- Saves
time
- Saves
money
