Gravity & MSE Wall Types
GRAVITY BLOCK WALLS
MSE Walls, or tieback walls, are best used in "fill" slope situations. They are built with a combination of blocks and geogrid tiebacks.
Ultrablock
units are an excellent replacement for small block walls as an installer is able to place 12 square feet of face at a time. Typical
installation estimates are 10-12 blocks per hour.
MSE walls incorporate GEOGRID products to reinforce the wall. These grids allow walls
to be built vertically, with a minimum amount of block. MSE walls are best used in a "fill" slope situation. For more information
