Balancing the required performance of an engineered solution with its environmental impact is becoming more and more critical. When constructing reinforced soil walls, hard structural facing panels and modular blocks have been the traditional choice for durability. However, the demand for green-friendly infrastructure continues to grow, leading engineers to look for ways to design these walls with vegetated facing. PYRAWALL® offers an environmentally friendly and economical solution for constructing reinforced-soil walls and steepened slopes. The wrap-face vegetated system consists of PYRAMAT® 75 High Performance Turf Reinforcement Mat (HPTRM) and internal fiber-composite bracing deliver immediate erosion control protection that lasts up to 75 years. The flexibility of the system allows the engineer to incorporate various setbacks and alignments in order to customize the wall or slope to the unique site conditions and geometries.
