Wire Walls

Wire Walls (also known as mechanically stabilized earth walls, MSE walls, reinforced earth walls, welded wire walls or wire-faced walls) are ideal for fast and economical installation using cost-saving wire components and select backfill materials. They easily accommodate curves, angles, or steps and the facing and soil reinforcing mats may be adapted to allow for the installation of culverts, bridge piles, or other site requirements. Wire Walls can be installed with exposed wire surface only or they may be designed to accept a variety of finishes, such as grass, vegetation, shotcrete and precast panels in a two-stage design.

The Wire Wall system consists of heavy-duty welded wire mesh soil reinforcing mats (also known as wire mats or bar mats) and facing, along with compacted select fill.
Wire Wall facing components are rigid, lightweight and pre-formed to interlock with the mats.
The soil reinforcing mat layers are typically spaced in 24-30” vertical increments.
The custom-engineered design approach improves compaction rates at the wall face and speeds up installation.
