Block Retaining Wall
Block wall construction with single-direction Techgrid geogrids
Block retaining walls offer an effective solution for preventing soil erosion and enhancing structural stability through the use of geogrids.
With advancing technology, engineering structures have also evolved, pushing the limits of some traditional systems. Reinforced concrete retaining walls, which became impossible to design and implement beyond certain heights, have now been replaced by geosynthetic-reinforced retaining walls (MSEW), known as flexible systems. These walls, whose architectural details and appearance vary depending on the facing element used, are called Block Retaining Walls when a vertical surface is desired, as they are constructed using structural blocks.
- They can be manufactured at heights where reinforced concrete retaining walls cannot be built.
- They are flexible systems because geogrids are used behind the blocks as reinforcement elements.
- They are displacement-tolerant structures because they exhibit flexible behavior during an earthquake.
- They enable the construction of retaining walls, especially on ground with settlement issues.
- Visuals can be changed by using different building blocks according to preferences.
- They are environmentally friendly structures that can work in harmony with the structures to be built alongside them.
Products
The GeoDrain product family is a composite material consisting of a polymer drainage core combined with nonwoven geotextile that provides protective and filtration functions on one or both sides. GeoDrain is a geocomposite material that combines drainage, protection, and filtration properties in a single product and can be used in both horizontal and vertical directions.
