RE WALLS
Product Description
Sneh Precast Products (SPP) offers Retaining Earth (RE) Walls engineered to prevent soil erosion, manage slope stability, and provide robust structural support. These walls resist lateral soil pressure, ensuring safe retention of varying soil levels. Without proper retaining structures, natural forces like rain, gravity, or seismic activity can lead to landslides or uneven settling.
Our RE walls are suitable for urban, commercial, and industrial applications, offering both structural reliability and long-term performance.
Key Features
- Quick & Durable Installation: Modular designs enable fast setup with minimal site waste
- Robust Performance: Effectively withstands lateral soil forces, ensuring safe ground level management
- Eco-Friendly: Optimized design minimizes environmental impact and reduces material usage
Dimensions (mm)
- Width (Top): 450
- Height: 88
- Length: Varies by application
- Wall Thickness: 32
Benefits of RE Walls
- Prevents Soil Erosion: Maintains ground stability even in high-slope or water-prone zones
- Creates Usable Land: Converts sloped or uneven terrain into functional space
- Improves Drainage: Weep holes and granular backfills reduce hydrostatic pressure buildup
- Enhances Aesthetics: Adds structure and visual appeal to landscaping projects
- Cost-Effective: More economical than alternative stabilization techniques
- Low Maintenance & High Longevity: Designed for decades of reliable service in varying soil and climate conditions
Key Design Considerations
- 1. Soil Type: Sandy vs. clay soils require different wall types and reinforcements. Soil testing is critical for proper design decisions.
- 2. Wall Height & Load Requirements: Taller or load-bearing walls (e.g., roads, embankments) need reinforced or anchored solutions.
- 3. Drainage Systems: Poor drainage leads to structural failure. Incorporation of weep holes, geotextiles, and proper backfilling is essential.
- 4. Material Selection:
- Concrete: Durable and strong
- Gabion: Flexible and visually natural
- Steel Reinforcements: Ideal for high-pressure applications
- 5. Environmental Factors: Wall design should account for local rainfall, seismic activity, frost heave, and temperature fluctuations.
Common Mistakes in RE Wall Design
- Ignoring Drainage: Causes water pressure buildup and collapse
- Poor Foundation: Results in wall tilting or cracking
- Wrong Material Choice: Shortens lifespan or weakens structural capacity
- Incorrect Height/Load Calculations: Can lead to wall failure under stress
