SoilWeb® Retaining Walls

With multilayer SoilWeb® geocells, heavyweight walls or tie-back structures can be constructed. In the case of tie-back construction, the SoilWeb® geocells are used as the final front element. These two constructions can usually be greened, depending on the structure / geometry.

Structural stability
Supporting structures with SoilWeb® geocells improve durability and structural stability. When in accordance with the static verification provided, constructions with SoilWeb® geocells can be built in areas with subsoils prone to settling as well as in areas with seismic activity. 

Terraced, vegetated supporting structures
Depending on the geometry of the structure, vegetation can be planted directly into the SoilWeb® geocells due to their honeycomb shape. Thanks to the flexibility of the material and its ability to adapt to terrain, visually sophisticated and ecologically valuable constructions can be built. 

Filling materials / practicability
By using SoilWeb® Geocells, low qualified filling materials can also be used (e.g. sand or material extracted on site). The lightweight SoilWeb® Geocell units are easy to install, especially in areas with a limited work space. 

Building practice / application
Retaining wall elements can be constructed with inclinations up to 80° with the 20 cm high SoilWeb®. Depending on static requirements and construction, units with bond lengths of 0.54, 0.80, 1.07, 1.33 up to 1.60 m are used. 

The units are pretensioned by means of mounting frames or mounting brackets (see also separate installation instructions).
