What Is MSE And What Are Its Advantages?
Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) is an innovative engineered solution for grade change requirements in residential, commercial, industrial and transportation sectors. It is an economical, flexible and attractive method to build retaining wall systems. When technical challenges such as terrain, site constraints, heavy loading and seismic activity are present, MSE can be designed to address these challenges. A wide variety of choices of slope angles and facing elements (segmental block, precast panels, rock or vegetation) are available, allowing for the most flexible and cost-effective use of land while achieving a tailored solution that meets the aesthetic requirement as well as budget and environmental needs. The Nilex advantages are three-fold. First, technically, they are engineered solutions with site support and offer a choice of face angles. Second, economically, they have a longer design life. Engineered system reduces construction time and equipment. Third, environmentally, there is less need for non-renewable resources as waste fill can be used, helping reduce the carbon footprint.
