EARTH RETAINING SYSTEMS
PSL has a wealth of knowledge and experience when it comes to assessing and constructing stable earth slopes, whether it's just choosing a stable slope configuration, providing reinforcement using a variety of techniques, or putting in place a retaining system to meet project requirements. MEA engineers are very skilled at repairing slope stability faults and has the expertise necessary to do so.
There are countless justifications for preserving slopes with earth retaining systems. There are numerous possibilities and requirements that must be taken into consideration, regardless of whether the project calls for worker safety during excavation, erosion control, better mining efficiency, or the long-term retention of a soil or rock face. Therefore, the most cost-effective design will come from having complete understanding and skill in this field.
In-depth analyses of the material being held, stringent guidelines for the fill being used, as well as assessments of the system's overall stability are frequently part of the design support and evaluation of an earth retaining system. Numerous techniques exist for retaining soil, including the use of geosynthetics, soldier piles and lagging, sheet piles, cast-in-place walls, secant piles, soil or rock anchors, soil nails, and mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls.
