The Reinforced Earth® technique is widely used in highway and municipal projects. Most applications are for the construction of retaining walls, ramps and bridge abutments that support roadways in both urban and suburban environments, and in rural mountainous terrain.

The completion of Reinforced Earth® projects requires only a short construction time and minimum right-of-way, so the disruption to traffic is considerably reduced.

The versatility of the technology allows for a wide variety of geometry. Prefabricated units in various attractive finishes can be used for the facing.

The main uses of the technology include:

• Walls to support roadways, either single, or tiered;

  

• Mountain and rural highways;

  

• Bridge abutments;

 

• Walls for access ramps;

 

•  Reinforced slopes
