Retaining Walls and Road Buildouts

Fixing compromised retaining walls should not cause negative effects on the environment. GeoStabilization International® provides cost-effective repair and rehabilitation services for mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls and Geosynthetically Confined Soil® (GCS®) walls.

MSE and GCS® Wall Repair

MSE walls often lack adequate drainage or compaction, usually due to a combination of widely spaced reinforcement elements and subpar clay soils. That can cause anything from slight soil movement to complete wall collapse. Likewise, uncompacted backfill will cause a GCS® wall to fail.

Repairing a GCS® or mechanically stabilized earth wall can be expensive. In extreme cases, the wall system cannot be salvaged without a complete replacement, driving the costs even higher. Conventional soil stabilization and wall rehabilitation methods are also time-consuming.

The Benefits of Fixing Retaining Walls in Place

GeoStabilization takes a different approach to retaining wall repair. Thanks to its state-of-the-art technology and limited-access equipment, the company’s highly skilled crews can often work around existing structures instead of tearing them down.

If the facing is largely undamaged, an array of SuperNails™ can provide the necessary soil reinforcement. If the deterioration is more serious, permanent stabilization and restacking of the stone can return the wall’s original appearance.

The added value of this approach is significant: Repairing a GCS® or MSE wall in place is often just 30% of the cost of total replacement and can be completed in weeks, not months.

GeoStabilization’s approach does not usually require significant excavation, either. That allows the crews to complete the project with minimal disturbance to surrounding roadways, environment, traffic, and business operations.

By working around existing walls, GeoStabilization’s masons are also better able to recreate the wall’s original appearance. Whether the goal is to emulate a historic rock stacking pattern or blend the wall facing with the local geologic environment, the company’s team of skilled masons can restore even the most deteriorated MSE walls.

Geohazard Mitigation for Transportation Infrastructure

GeoStabilization specializes in providing fully engineered solutions to safeguard critical transportation infrastructure from geohazards. The company stockpiles materials nationally across the U.S., allowing it to deploy its crews rapidly in emergencies. Oftentimes, GeoStabilization’s engineers can be on-site within 24 to 48 hours for a no-cost, no-obligation rapid site assessment.

GeoStabilization can also provide clients with project management support and maintenance services to ensure the continued stability of existing structures.

All projects come with a multi-year warranty that covers not just materials and installation but also the structure’s performance.

Retaining Walls and Road Buildouts

GeoStabilization International® specializes in stabilizing compromised retaining walls, building GCS® crusher headwalls, and repairing ramp crest loss areas to re-establish the double haul road lane width. Thanks to the company’s fleet of limited-access vehicles and drills, the crews can access remote or difficult-access sites even when conventional repair techniques are not feasible.

GeoStabilization International® is a global leader in geohazard mitigation, MSE walls repair, and soil retention. The company provides turnkey design and construction solutions with a 75-year design life. To learn more about the company’s services or seek assistance with a specific project, call 855-579-0536.
