Benefits & Features

TerraPlus® and TerraClass®

  • Segmental precast concrete panels are easily erected and have high durability.
  • Two lifting points per panel, giving greater safety during handling and construction.
  • Thick sturdy joint system.
  • Flexible bearing pads prevent spalling.
  • Suitable for a 100-year design life
  • Suitable for vertical or inclined walls.
  • High resistance to static and dynamic loads.
  • Ability to adapt to deformations in the subgrade.
  • Rapid erection.
  • Large savings in cost compared with more conventional structures.
  • Structure can be built completely from behind therefore not interfering with access/traffic or obstacles in front of the wall.

TerraTilt®

  • Large full height panels allow simple and rapid erection of the retaining wall.
  • Easily customised with architectural finishes.
  • Bridge support columns may be discrete or integrated with the panel using permanent formwork.
  • Suitable for a 100-year design life as requested by most road authorities.
  • Suitable for vertical walls.
  • High resistance to static loads.
  • TerraTilt® must be constructed on competent foundations that will support the panels and the Reinforced Earth™ block with minimal settlement.

TerraMet®

  • The semi-elliptical, 0.35 x 3m panels are lightweight to transport to remote sites.
  • The panels are easily and rapidly erected without the use of heavy lifting equipment.
  • Up to 50 year design life is possible with regular maintenance and care.
  • Ability to adapt to deformations in the subgrade.
  • Large savings in cost compared with more conventional structures.
  • Structure can be built completely from behind therefore not interfering with access/traffic or obstacles in front of the wall.

TerraTrel®

  • It is an alternative low-cost facing system for Reinforced Earth™ structures.
  • The welded wire mesh panels, which are supplied in customised sizes, are lightweight to transport to remote sites.
  • The panels are easily and rapidly erected without the use of heavy lifting equipment.
  • Panels can be easily assembled and disassembled, making TerraTrel® ideal for temporary or staged works.
  • Can be designed for permanent or temporary applications.
  • Ability to adapt to deformations in the subgrade.
  • Formwork is not required in order to establish the front face.
  • Large savings in cost compared with more conventional structures.
  • Structure can be built completely from behind therefore not interfering with access/traffic or obstacles in front of the wall.
