Permanent Geosynthetic Wrapped Face MSE Retaining Wall
Mechanically Stabilized Earth Retaining Walls (MSERWs) are commonplace on building sites and roadways. The typical MSERW uses a precast concrete facing panel or a masonry block facing unit. However, a new MSERW facing has been developed using geosynthetics. The first permanent geosynthetic wrapped face MSERWs using synthetic grass combined with structural geogrid soil reinforcement have been installed on a toll road construction project. MSERWs were needed to support the new roadway in limited access space. Although there are many types of MSERWs, geosynthetic wrapped face walls provide vertical grade separations at significantly lower cost. The long term design life of the geosynthetic face has always been the limiting factor in their use for permanent MSERWs. The benefit of using the synthetic grass geosynthetic wrapped face MSERWs was an economical, aesthetic and permanent structurally sound green wall face with no maintenance for the design life of the structure.
