MSE Wall Repair & Rehabilitation

Our engineers and field crews bring extensive experience restoring MSE walls to full strength and service life.

Common Causes of Failure:

  • Poor drainage or compaction

  • Widely spaced reinforcement

  • Low-quality on-site soils

These issues can lead to wall movement or collapse, creating risks for nearby infrastructure.

Benefits of In-Place Repair

  • Cost Savings – Repairs typically cost a fraction of full replacement.

  • Faster Completion – Weeks instead of months.

  • Longevity – Solutions engineered for up to a 75-year design life.

  • Minimal Disruption – Repairs completed without full demolition.

  • Restored Aesthetics – Surfaces can be matched to the original wall.

With advanced tools and techniques, our Canadian crews strengthen MSE walls beyond traditional repair methods for durable results.

Keep up the great work, you and your team’s professionalism has not gone unnoticed.

Successful Project Support in British Columbia, Canada

Hi Graeme, I apologize for taking so long to respond; it is a credit to the smoothness of this project that I was able to shift my focus onto other ones. When asked by a colleague how this project went, I responded "that so last week". Seriously though, I want to sincerely thank you and your crew for their great efforts and patience getting this going and completed safely and successfully. A senior manager reviewing the photos also noted how tidy and well organized the site looked. Thanks also for accommodating all our site visits and heli close-ups.

Trusted Mitigation Project Support from GSI Crew

John Boyd was great. I couldn’t be more pleased with the crew. For the next mitigation project, we’ll work with GSI and specifically request John Boyd.
