The sensible, economical choice for:

  • Retaining walls
  • Headwalls and wingwalls
  • Bridge abutments
  • Grade separations

Two-Stage Precast Walls are also known as mechanically stabilized earth walls, MSE walls, reinforced earth walls, welded wire walls or wire-faced walls.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two-Stage Precast Walls

Advantageous where excessive settlement is expected but precast panels are desired.

Two-Stage Precast Walls provide strong advantages where poor foundations or soft soils and significant settlements are anticipated — but the aesthetics of precast panels are desired.

The wire wall is constructed first and sits until the target settlements are reached. Then, the precast panels are erected on their own levelling pad, spaced off the wall face and attached by a system of adjustable hooks and turnbuckles. The void is then filled with granular material or grout.

Panels are available in a variety of sizes, colours and textures, as well as custom designs. With Atlantic Civil Products’ project-specific, engineered approach, the fascia panels are prefabricated to insure quick delivery and easy attachment. Two-Stage Precast Walls can be finished to meet many architectural or environmental requirements. See Two-Stage Precast Wall Finish Options.
