Static:
Construction:
Construction of a MSE wall begins with delivery of pre-manufactured components – precast panels, reinforcing strips and backfill materials. The existing ground is prepared and a concrete leveling pad is poured. The precast panels are installed in rows and the backfill is placed and compacted with the soil reinforcing strips as each row of panels is installed. This process is repeated until the wall is completed. The concrete coping is then constructed on top of the precast panels as a finishing touch.
