As the world leader and inventor of Reinforced Earth\u00ae MSE wall technology, Geoquest companies apply the same level of professionalism and engineering care for reinforced steep slopes as for vertical Reinforced Earth\u00ae structures.<\/h2>\n

Slopes constructed as soil retaining structures are typically constructed at an angle to the horizontal between 45\u00b0 and 76\u00b0. These reinforced soil structures are often called Reinforced Soil Slopes (RSS) or Geosynthetic Reinforced Slopes (GRS) by engineers.<\/p>\n

Our group’s success in this field was confirmed by the construction of a world record-breaking RSS structure at a height of more than 100 meters.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Slope front selection<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We offer both steel mesh and geosynthetic coating front surface solutions. These options allow the construction of vegetated \u201cgreen\u201d slopes, which we call ArmaGreen\u00ae, or natural mineral-looking ArmaStone\u00ae slopes.<\/p>\n

Reinforcement selection<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Geosynthetic reinforcements can be either in the form of geosynthetic strips (GeoStrap\u00ae and EcoStrap\u00ae) or high-performance geogrids called ArmaGrid\u00ae.<\/p>\n

GeoStrap\u00ae<\/strong><\/p>\n

These reinforcements are made of high-strength polyester (PET) tendons encased in a polyethylene sheath. It can adapt to environments where chlorides and sulfates are present or with low pH.<\/p>\n

EcoStrap\u00ae<\/strong><\/p>\n

These reinforcements are made of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) tendons in a polyethylene sheath. Recycled concrete can be used even in the presence of lime or cement and in high pH environments.<\/p>\n

ArmaGrid\u00ae<\/strong><\/p>\n

Uniaxial or biaxial geogrid reinforcement is produced in both PET and polypropylene (PP), both of which are ideal for constructing both permanent and temporary reinforced ground slopes.<\/p>\n

Metallic (steel) soil reinforcements are the best solution in certain situations and are supplied in our signature high-adhesion reinforcement strips.<\/p>\n

Applications<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Reinforced Slopes are frequently constructed to support and protect linear infrastructure, including highways, railways and airports. It is widely used in landfills and waste storage areas.<\/p>\n

Additionally, these structures need to be sloped to control natural gravity risks such as rockfalls, landslides, avalanches and hydraulic erosion, and to protect against coastal and river floods.<\/p>\n

Steep slopes are also constructed to eliminate human-caused risks such as explosions, noise and traffic protection.<\/p>\n
