Retaining Walls & Soil Reinforcement
Since ancient civilizations first began shaping the land to support agriculture, build cities, and control nature, the need to hold back earth has always been a core challenge. Retaining walls structures are designed to hold back soil at angles steeper than its natural repose and have evolved significantly, particularly in modern engineering. Today, retaining wall design is more advanced than ever, offering solutions to meet the demands of increasingly complex terrain, heavy loads, and strict environmental standards.
Whether you’re dealing with reinforced soil slopes on a residential development or constructing a mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall to support the weight of 300-ton mine trucks, the principles remain the same: safety, efficiency, and durability. In areas with weak soils, heavy loading conditions, or seismic activity, earth retaining structures and soil reinforcement become essential. Maccaferri offers cutting-edge MSE wall solutions and earth retaining wall systems that are engineered to deliver superior performance in the most demanding conditions.
We construct everything from modest garden walls to towering vertical walls in mines, highways, or industrial zones. Our solutions are not only functional but are also built with sustainability in mind. Using earth retaining systems that minimize the use of natural resources, we help clients achieve significant savings in material, installation costs, and maintenance. Moreover, our systems prioritize worker safety, seamless integration with the landscape, and resilience over time.
A standout in our portfolio is the Paramesh wall, a flexible and efficient reinforced soil structure that allows for custom-facing options making it ideal for both urban and rural environments. For steep terrain, we also specialize in RSS (reinforced soil slope) solutions, ideal for slope reinforcement where traditional walls may not be feasible.
Our mechanically stabilized earth walls are backed by more than a century of experience and continuous innovation. We collaborate with global institutions and experts to refine MSE wall design, ensuring that our clients benefit from tested, certified, and environmentally responsible engineering. Maccaferri’s reinforced systems also offer advanced flexibility when designing earth barrier walls in transportation infrastructure, mining, and flood control.
Whether you’re exploring the retaining wall meaning for a small project or managing the complexities of a large-scale gravity retaining structure, our team is here to support you. From initial concept to final build, we assist with software tools, technical resources, and the expertise required to bring your project to life.
