Vegetated Retaining Wall System

LoadingAdd to my saved searches

Instead of using concrete for their retaining wall, they utilised Flex MSE, a patented engineered solution for vegetated retaining walls and erosion control which has been designed to outlast its hardscape predecessors, including concrete and steel. Seeds were then applied, via hydroseeding, onto the face of the Flex MSE installation.

Its simple geobag and interlocking plate facing adapts and moves with the land, enduring events that destroy traditional wall systems. And it can be installed in nearly half the time and cost of most other walls with only 3% of the carbon.

This solution offers a green alternative to traditional construction methods and provides a significant carbon reduction, biodiversity improvement, cost savings, time savings, sound resistance and there is no heavy machinery required.
