GREEN AFIWALL - mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) retaining wall - AFIWALL
Use
The construction of infrastructure sometimes requires working on very steep slopes. The AFIWALL® range offers various simple and rapid construction methods which provide a variety of solutions to complete these structures.
The Green AFIWALL® technology is used as part of the development and revegetation of reinforced retaining structures. This solution consists of three products :
- A specifically designed reinforcing geosynthetic such as Notex® C with acrylic coating, reducing damage caused by installation
- A drainage geocomposite such as SOMTUBE® FTF to combat water ingress in the technical embankment
- Specific facing combining welded wire mesh with shuttering brackets
Benefits
- An innovative and cost-effective solution consisting of 3 products supplied by AFITEXINOV for the facing, drainage and plantable reinforcement of the structure
- Construction of very high, stable retaining walls
- Installation of a geogrid with a mesh aperture conducive to revegetation
- Sustainable, maintenance-free revegetation, even in the event of steep gradients
- Better integration into the landscape
Features



Characteristics
- Maximum height : 33 m
- Good revegetation up to 70° gradient
- Hydroseeding recommended but not compulsory
