MSE Retaining Walls in Northwest Florida
Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls are a type of composite retaining wall built from alternating layers of compacted backfill and soil reinforcements, such as steel or geosynthetic strips or ladders. These layers are attached to a wall facing-- typically modular panels of precast concrete. An MSE wall's strength comes from the friction and tension between the backfill material and the reinforcements, with the wall facing serving to prevent erosion. The wall facing is usually also a decorative element, with different pattern options to choose from. An engineer chooses the specific materials to use for each component, basing those choices on the demands of the site and the specifications of the project. Relative durability of different material options, the project budget, and the desired aesthetic are the key considerations.
