Metallic faced – wire mesh – retaining wall solution: Geotrel\u00ae<\/h2>\n

Geotrel\u00ae is a solution used for the construction of mechanically stabilised earth walls (MSE). It consists of stacked welded wire elements that serve as the facing of an engineered soil volume. Geotrel\u00ae is otherwise known as a wire mesh retaining wall solution.<\/p>\n

The soil volume consists of a layered matrix of high-strength geosynthetic \u201cstrip\u201d soil reinforcements and compacted select backfill. The cornerstone of Geoquest’s innovation and R&D lies in our wide selection of industry-certified geosynthetic soil strip reinforcements, welded wire facing elements and connections.<\/p>\n

The GeoTrel\u00ae system is one of the most cost-effective solutions for reinforced soil structures. This is due to the fact that the wire mesh retaining wall facing panels are lightweight and do not require any lifting or bracing equipment. They require less lead time for delivery, so construction can begin sooner. They can be easily trimmed or modified in the field to quickly fit any geometric situation. No concrete levelling pad is needed. The material and soil reinforcement connections provide superior durability against differential settlement, erosion, impact, and seismic activity.<\/p>\n

Technical Features<\/h3>\n

The GeoTrel\u2122 system is composed of geosynthetic reinforcing strips attached by patented connectors to a wire mesh retaining wall panel facing.<\/p>\n

The reinforcing strips are available in two types, either with regular or high adherence edges, chosen according to the pH condition of the intended backfill:<\/p>\n
