Wire Walls

Quick and easy to erect, these walls are easily adapted to curves, angles and steps.

Wire Walls are ideal for fast and economical installation using cost-saving wire components and native backfill materials wherever possible.

This technically-sound and well-proven Wire Wall System is composed of alternating layers of soil reinforcement and select backfill to create an extremely stable reinforced structure that is easily adaptable to meet the structural and aesthetic demands of today’s infrastructure projects. It easily accommodates curves, angles, or steps, and the facing and soil reinforcing mats may be adapted to allow for the installation of culverts, bridge piles, or other site requirements.
