Galvanised steel
Galvanised steel. REhas® (Reinforced Earth™ High Adhesion Steel) strips are non-extensible and are unmatched for structural capacity and reliability. Steel soil reinforcement, when coupled with the complying select fill, can be designed for 100 years service life or longer if required.
The REhas® strips bolt to the tie points cast in to the rear of the facing panels, and can be easily skewed to avoid pile forms where necessary.
Longer length strips can be achieved through joining on site. Reinforcing strips are connected to facing panels with M12 Grade 10.9 galvanised bolts, nuts and washers.

Synthetic
GeoStrap® strips are made from high tenacity tendons contained in a linear low-density polyethylene sheath. The type of GeoStrap® is optimised according to site conditions and structure type. Most commonly used, GeoStrap® with polyester yarns is ideal for structures that may be affected by a corrosive environment (ie acidic or saltwater).
GeoStrap® is supplied in rolls, and is easily cut on site to the design length by the contractor. GeoStrap® synthetic reinforcement, together with Omega connections and facing panels creates the GeoMega™ fully synthetic solution.
