Concrete Retaining Walls

Welded Wire Reinforcement by Ivy Steel & Wire can save you time and money by using less steel when you have a retaining wall to build. A common retaining wall used in recent years is the MSE wall (Mechanically Stabilized Earth). It is classified as a gravity retaining wall and is designed to withstand lateral earth and water pressures, and any live and dead load surcharges.

Using Welded Wire Reinforcning in retaining walls can take advantage of Welded Wire Reinforcement’s strength and ease of placement to achieve greater economy. Since retaining walls are expected to perform for many years, it is important to place the reinforcement within tight tolerances to assure adequate cover. The fact that Welded Wire Reinforcement can be precisely placed in a sheet and held rigid by welding will make it easier to get a quality product.
