INFRASTRUCTURE SOLUTION

GFRP for Retaining Walls & Buried Concrete

Durable reinforcement for difficult-to-access concrete exposed to moisture, soil chemistry and drainage conditions.

Where GFRP can add value

Retaining walls • Concrete facings • Drainage-adjacent structures • Selected buried elements

ENGINEERING NOTE

Geotechnical, structural and drainage conditions must be evaluated together during material selection.

IN PRACTICE

Earth retention without an expiry date

Retaining structures are permanently in contact with moist, chemically active soil — the perfect corrosion cell for steel. GFRP reinforcement is unaffected by soil chemistry, groundwater or waterfront exposure.

For soil nailing and MSE systems, GFRP’s high tensile strength and light weight make installation faster and the design section smaller.

Where it’s used

Waterfront retaining walls

Permanent wet-face exposure, zero rust

Facing panels

Thin panels without cover-driven thickness

Soil nailing

High-tensile, easily drilled and grouted

MSE / reinforced earth

Inert strips and grids in backfill

tensile strength of steel nails

Zero

groundwater corrosion risk

30%

thinner facing sections possible
