Are you looking to install a retaining wall?
The most common options include poured concrete, concrete blocks, basket systems and wood systems. While these are tried and tested systems, they are not necessarily the best.
That’s where MSE vegetated retaining walls come into the picture. MSE bags is a soft-engineered solution that is much tougher than it appears, while being kinder to the environment around it.
This innovative and eco-friendly building material offers a great solution to various different commercial, construction and private applications like unique landscaping, retaining walls, land reclamation, sediment control and erosion control.
Let’s take a look at some of the top benefits of MSE vegetated retaining wall systems:
Vegetated MSE Bags costs less than what it costs to build a poured concrete wall. It’s a two component system that can be installed in half the time it takes to install a concrete block wall. Moreover no specialised labour, equipment, footings, forms or rebar are needed.
MSE bags are built to last. It can outlast all traditional wall systems. It’s a soft, lightweight product that can be integrated with other proprietary systems easily and boasts excellent performance, even on unstable terrain and in areas with tough and limited access.
Vegetated MSE Bags is an excellent retention solution where water factors into the equation. The system offers high settlement tolerance and drains excess water effortlessly, making MSE bags an ideal choice in areas with water infiltration and poor soil.
What’s more, the permeability of MSE systems does away with the need for chimney drains and pipes.
With MSE vegetated wall systems, bid goodbye to wall staining or graffiti. No more failures from leaky soils and frost cycles either.
Made of recycled materials, MSE systems are a non-toxic, sustainable product which can also be recycled.
MSE’s two-component system allows you to build a vegetated retaining wall anywhere up to 82 degrees. This versatility means you can build your wall to suit your project’s requirements. The added advantage of constructing a retaining wall that follows the natural contours of your landscape and flows over the land formations allows you to construct organic structures without having to worry about angle decisions.
Retaining walls are typically created to support other structures or used as level building pads. Vegetated MSE Bags is perfect for such applications owing to its excellent strength that matches that of concrete the day it’s constructed. In fact, Vegetated MSE Bags only gets stronger with time as the root web from the vegetation takes hold.
Vegetated MSE Bags can be used to build retaining walls of all sizes. Whether you want to build a small stream bank or a massive roadway, this product provides the stability you desire.
We offer MSE systems in both pre-filled and unfilled bags, where on-site material can be collected and used as the filling.
