The retained earth CellWall™ system is a mass-gravity type retaining wall array that is comprised of cast reinforced concrete units, formed to specific size and dimension, which are then combined by utilising our proprietary construction methods.
By controlling design, manufacturing and installation, retained earth focus the ‘bulk density’ approach to the retaining and stabilisation of slopes and embankments. Our system, in its unique composition, performs specifically for high deflection situations as required for sea walls, rail bridges and road-side retaining structures such as bridge abutments and grade separations.
The CellWall™ system is perfect for sites with soft soils, rock foundations and sites with limited access.
Walls such as crib walls and gabions (see pictures below), which also are designed and constructed utilising the mass-gravity method, perform very well in their functions but still allow scour to occur. The retained earth CellWall™ system, eliminates the risk of scour by adding density to our design block.
This simple solution reduces voids in the block and therefore is also very effective at controlling the establishment of vegetation in the face of the wall structure. This, when it occurs on similar mass-gravity structures, can cause further costs for private and public assets.
With no large root masses invading the wall structure, the CellWall™ system will outperform alternative gravity wall systems.
