GeoTrel is a wire-faced temporary MSE wall system, consisting of high-strength extensible geosynthetic reinforcing strips (GeoStrap™) connected to wire mesh facing. The wire wall system provides a cost-effective solution for temporary wall alignment applications where aesthetics is not a critical requirement, precast concrete facing is cost prohibitive, or heavy lifting is not feasible. GeoTrel is ideal for temporary structures used in roadway widening, bridge phasing, and backfill materials.
The 2-inch wide GeoStrap consists of high tenacity polyester fibers (HTPET) encased in a polyethylene sheath. The high tenacity polyester is the load bearing element, while the sheath protects the yarns from installation damage and degradation. Although they are considered extensible, the durability and strength characteristics of the GeoStrap exhibit inextensible behavior for easy installation.
Benefits:
- Lightweight facing material, no heavy lifting needed.
- Delivery of materials is faster than when using precast concrete facing.
- GeoStrap exhibits less extensibility than traditional geogrid, allowing for predictable and forgiving construction
- GeoStrap connection to wire facing is fast and requires no tools
- Ideal for temporary retaining walls, and can be deconstructed easily if needed
Recommended Applications
GeoTrel™ is recommended for temporary retaining walls and structures used in roadway expansion, bridge staging, and settlement-inducing surcharges.
