Terratrel^® is a wire-faced MSE wall system that combines the performance of the Reinforced Earth retaining wall with the economy of wire facing. Terratrel wire-faced earth retention systems provide a cost-effective alternative for wall applications where aesthetics are not a critical requirement. Terratrel offers the structural integrity of a Reinforced Earth structure and is applicable for permanent applications such as federal lands service roads, low volume state and county roads, fire and logging roads, and industrial sites. It is economical enough to be used in temporary applications in highway construction. If significant settlements or preload conditions are anticipated for a structure, Terratrel may be constructed, and a facing applied after settlement. Terratrel's wire facing and reinforcing strips are lightweight and easily transported to remote sites where they can be rapidly installed.
