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. The rigid nature of welded wire forms ensures the retaining wall or slope remains in place when filled with dirt or other material. Incorporating an erosion control mat, such as a turf reinforcement mat or erosion control blanket, will prevent the fill from washing through the wire forms. Wire forms are usually attached to uniaxial geogrid, which acts as an anchor for the entire slope. From drainage geocomposites to geosynthetics, we distribute the geo and stormwater products necessary to complete the job right and on budget.

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, if the wire forms exist in a highly visible area, a vegetated wall may be preferable.
