The Technology

A solution for every situation

EarthTrac™ HA combines high adherence ribbed steel strip soil reinforcement and precast concrete facing panels. It is the only ribbed steel system that is designed in full compliance with AASHTO and DOT specifications. EarthTrac HA has been proven successful for vertical retaining walls in excess of 60 feet in height, bridge and rail abutments, and marine structures. A variety of precast facing shapes apply to this solution, including square, rectangular, hexagonal and T-shaped.

EarthTrac™ Geostrap combines the economy, performance and constructability of a traditional discrete panel MSE system with the durability and resistance to corrosion typically associated with geosynthetic systems. Developed for use in the chloride-rich and high temperature soil environments of the Middle East Gulf, this unique system incorporates polymer coated geosynthetic straps connected to precast concrete facings using a proprietary GFRP mechanical connection. The strength and durability of this connection enables construction of this wall system using the same basic techniques and the same high tolerances as our galvanized steel solution (EarthTrac™ HA).

The Geostrap reinforcements are virtually impervious to chemical and biological attack, enabling the use of recycled concrete and other chemically aggressive backfills. Since backfills costs account for as much as 30% of most installed wall systems, EarthTrac™ Geostrap saves money while earning environmental credits.

EarthTec Wire Walls combine either steel strips or geosynthetic strap reinforcements with a wire face for the ultimate in performance and economy in a non-concrete faced structure. Ideally suited for either industrial environments or applications where a softer landscaped look is desired.

EarthTec Ecoform™ extends our wire-faced range, providing a superior solution for over-steepened slopes. The permanent wire facings are fast and simple to install and facing angles from 60 to 75 degrees can be achieved. EarthTec also offers three different options for achieving vegetative cover.
