Wire Forms

Create temporary and permanent retaining walls and slopes with welded wire forms

Whether constructing a retaining wall or reinforcing a slope, using wire forms for earth stabilization is a reliable solution. Firstly, the welded wire forms’ rigidity ensures the retaining wall or slope remains in place. Even when it is filled with dirt or other material. Incorporating a filtration element, such as a turf reinforcement mat, erosion control blanket, or geotextile prevents the fill from washing through the wire forms. Wire forms are usually attached to a uniaxial geogrid. The geogrid anchors the entire slope.

Welded wire form walls are commonly deployed in highway projects. This is because they quickly reinforce embankments vertically using a temporary MSE wall. When determining the facade of the retaining wall or slope, consider its placement. For example, if it is a more industrial or hidden location, it may not be necessary to incorporate exterior matting or decorative panel accessories. Alternatively, a vegetated wall may be preferable if the wire forms exist in an area with high visibility.
