Vertical Walls with Concrete Facing Panels
Situations that require our cost-effective engineered solutions. Where only a narrow construction corridor is available, or a reinforced soil structure with a vertical face in urban areas is required, we offer clients our cost-effective engineered solutions.
Building in tight urban areas and mines. These structures are regularly used to support or enable the construction of infrastructure in tight urban corridors, forming retaining walls, abutments and wing walls. Our MacRESÂŽ system is also used to construct crusher and hopper walls in mines, supporting massive loads.
How Maccaferri polymeric geostrips works. MacRESÂŽ is a reinforced soil system featuring a concrete panel fascia with soil reinforcement provided by polymeric geostrips. These soil reinforcements are placed horizontally within the compacted backfill during construction, reinforcing it. It is the strength and robustness of these ParaWebÂŽ geostrips that enables the system to be used for tall walls, and mine structures where loads can be extreme.
ParaWebÂŽâs history and additional uses. ParaWebÂŽ is one of the oldest geosynthetic reinforcement products in the global construction market. In use since the 1980âs, it is tried and tested (has proved) to outlast many other systems and of course is corrosion resistant.
Our ParaWebÂŽ geostrips can be supplied with an âall-polymerâ connection to the concrete fascia panel. This corrosion-free connection is ideal for use in aggressive conditions, for example, where highway de-icing salts are used, or a recycled aggregate backfill is used.
Altering the face finish for aesthetic purposes. Used worldwide, the MacRESÂŽ vertical faced concrete panel system can have a wide range of face finishes to suit aesthetic requirements.
Segmental reinforced blockwork walls such as our MacWallÂŽ are often considered as âVertical Wallsâ. However, they normally have a slight face angle, and therefore are considered further under the solution area âReinforced Soil Walls and Slope Reinforcementâ.
