MSE Walls for Efficient and Reliable Retaining Structures
Gabion MSE Wall
MSE (Mechanically Stabilized Earth) slope protection walls consist of gabion boxes and layered backfill soil so they can resist movement, last a long time and resist erosion. Since these walls handle stress from outside forces, soil pressure and horizontal movement, they can be used affordably in many kinds of infrastructure projects with changes in terrain elevation.
Reinforcement Strips: Made of galvanized steel or geosynthetic fabric for wall stability.
Facing Panels: Modular blocks, precast concrete, or wire mesh baskets for erosion control.
Backfill: Compacted granular material for drainage and reduced hydraulic pressure.
Seismic Resistance: Designed for stability in earthquake-prone areas
Rapid Installation: Prefabricated units allow for quick and efficient on-site assembly.
Minimal Maintenance: Requires little upkeep due to its durable and self-draining design.
Insights and Technical Details
Gabion Toe (Anchor)
Anchoring keeps the soil from shifting and breaking the wall when loaded. A single gabion box is enough for ordinary projects, but using multiple boxes in a Reno mattress leads to much better results. Reno mattresses can handle higher levels of weight because their larger profile prevents mattress overturning and spreads out area of contact. The method also helps the ground stay intact by getting rid of the energy in water, leading to its durability.
Soil Reinforcement
Types of Soil Reinforcement Mats
Geogrids- Geogrids are made of polyester, polypropylene or fiberglass and help soil withstand pressure and stop soil erosion.
Welded Mesh – Carbon steel wires form welded mesh which is a strong product that spreads the weight of the soil over the entire area.
Composite Structures – Geogrids and welded mesh are combined into a strong system that supports your project, drawing on their specific strengths to help with slope reinforcement and overall strength.

Dimensions and Structural Guidelines
Having exact dimensions is important for the stability of a gabion wall. In most cases, both the track width and the belt height should be equal, as exceeding this ratio may affect how the structure loads, puts more pressure on the front panel, raises the vehicle’s center and makes it less stable.
Setback Requirement: A minimum setback of 0.5 meters clearance per meter of wall height is needed to ensure the structure stays stable.
Anchor Dimensions: Usually, the Reno mattress width is equal to half the height of your room’s walls. When the slope is steeper, single gabion boxes can be used as toe supports; for gentle slopes, Reno mattresses together with gabion anchors are better.
Reinforcement Mat Length: Using this method, the length of the reinforcement mat should be as long as or slightly longer than the wall
