Faced reinforced Soil Walls
Rock-Netting faced reinforced soil walls are a system where the structural stability is achieved by virtue of reinforcement layers of polymer geogrids or steel mesh being placed in the soil linked to a facing skin of rock-nettings.
This type of structure is generally more cost effective for walls 3 to 4m or more in heigh in fill situations.
As with mass gravity walls the rock-netting face is inclined at 6 degrees to the vertical and/or stepped.
