Precast Panel Walls (Stabilized Earth Walls)
Precast Panel Walls (also known as stabilized earth walls, mechanically stabilized earth walls, MSE retaining walls, or reinforced earth walls) use precast panels with galvanized steel wire mats to reinforce a retained soil mass. This technically-sound and well-proven system is composed of alternating layers of soil reinforcement and select backfill to create an extremely stable reinforced structure that is easily adaptable to meet the structural and aesthetic demands of today’s infrastructure projects. Panels are available in a variety of sizes, colors and textures, as well as custom design. With Big R Bridge's project-specific, engineered approach, the fascia panels are prefabricated to insure quick delivery and easy attachment.
