Two-Stage Precast Walls (Stabilized Earth Walls)
Two-Stage Precast Walls provide strong advantages where poor foundations or soft soils and significant settlements are anticipated, but the aesthetics of precast panels are desired. The wire wall is constructed first and sits until the target settlements are reached. Then, the precast panels are erected on their own leveling pad, spaced off the wall face and attached by a system of adjustable hooks and turnbuckles. The void is then hydraulically filled with granular material or grout. Panels are available in a variety of sizes, colors and textures, as well as custom designs. With Big R Bridge's project-specific, engineered approach, the fascia panels are prefabricated to insure quick delivery and easy attachment.
