The terrain at the optimum location for the new crusher was extremely challenging, so a retaining wall was needed to create a safe area for unloading mine trucks. The retaining wall also provided stabilized access to the crusher. The wall needed to support the live load of the Liebherr T282 B Mine Trucks used at the mine\u00e2\u0080\u0099s location, which can generate a loaded weight of 653 Tons.<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<div class=\"container-full text-bocolor-block-green\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"col-12\">\n            <div class=\"container box-container\">\n                <div class=\"row\">\n                    <div class=\"col-12\">\n                        <h3>Solution<\/h3>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>    \n    <\/div>\n        <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"col-12\">\n            <div class=\"container box-container\">\n                <div class=\"row\">\n                    <div class=\"col-12 content\">\n                        <p>Maccaferri\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Terrawall\u00c2\u00ae system and MacGrid\u00c2\u00ae WG geogrids were chosen due to their high strength and ease of construction. Maccaferri\u00e2\u0080\u0099s extensive testing and design assistance were also major factors in the decision to use the Terrawall\u00c2\u00ae system. The completed wall is over 80 ft. in height and supports an additional 20 ft. high embankment, rising above the wall at a 2:1 slope. The MacGrid\u00c2\u00ae WG geogrid reinforcement, at its maximum, was up to 72 ft. in length from the face of the wall system to the back of the reinforced area. The overall length of the wall profile is 285 ft. Technical Characteristics The retaining wall was designed with a regime of high strength polyester geogrids that were optimized for the required strength at different wall heights. This minimized material costs without impacting safety.<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div><div class=\"wp-block-mac-container-block box-container\"><div class=\"container\"><h2>Used Products<\/h2><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-3 col-xl-3 col-xxl-3\"><div class=\"wp-block-mac-card-new-block block-latest-news-container\"><div class=\"card\"><div class=\"content-images\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"box-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maccaferri.com\/mx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Terramesh_0-1.jpg\" alt=\"Terramesh\" title=\"Terramesh\" \/><\/div><div class=\"card-body\"><h6>Terramesh<\/h6><span class=\"abstract\">La familia Maccaferri Terramesh\u00ae incluye diferentes opciones de revestimiento para la construcci\u00f3n de estructuras de tierra mec\u00e1nicamente estabilizada<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maccaferri.com\/mx\/productos\/terramesh\/\" class=\"cta\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Terramesh\">Vista\n                           <span class=\"text\" value=\"\" \/>\n                           <\/a><div data-post-id=\"144346\" class=\"star \" title=\"Add to wishlist\"><span class=\"material-symbols-rounded starrate\">star<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--usedproducts-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maccaferri\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Terrawall\u00c2\u00ae system and MacGrid\u00c2\u00ae WG geogrids were chosen due to their high strength and ease of construction.
