Reinforced Slopes with Geogrid

Geogrid-wrapped facings make use of soil-filled bags as the slope-facing units with engineered soil backfill behind. Engineers utilize them for the construction of steep slopes in locations where operations can be mobilized without incurring high costs.


Geobags are used to form the facing profile to make the construction of complex-shaped structures relatively easy. The geogrid reinforcement which is wrapped around the soilbags to a specifically designed height is later laid back into the soil with sufficient anchorage length.


Meanwhile, the engineered soil backfill is reinforced with geogrid and geogrids to encourage rapid vegetation growth of the system. After which, soil backfill is then positioned and compacted, and the process is repeated until the slope height has been completed.


This facing system is ideal for slopes with angles up to 80° and heights varying from 3 meters to 50 meters.


A geosynthetic wrapped stone drainage layer is installed at the rear of the reinforced soil structure with the groundwater discharged through drainage pipes into surface drains to control groundwater seepage.

When vegetated, the completed structure blends easily with the surrounding environment. This method has been tested and approved as a cost-effective alternative to conventional concrete structures.
