Application Area Roads Application Steep Slopes (Reinforced Embankments)
   STEEP SLOPES (REINFORCED EMBANKMENTS)  
Construction of steep slopes using technique of wraparound.

When it comes to construct steep slopes with limited base width use of wraparound technique is most suitable. The slope can be in the range of 45 Deg to 70 Deg.
 
Benefits
Fast, economical and versatile solutions
Green finish sympathetic to local surroundings
Reduction of land take
Cost-effective solutions
Avoiding export of slipped soil
 
Key Features of Wraparound soil structures
Very flexible structures well adapted to accommodating differential settlement and often avoiding the need for expensive foundation treatment.
Proven construction technique maintains tensioning of he geogrid to avoid face slumping
Easy to accommodate curved faces, tight radius bends and tricky face details
Using wraparound offers a simple construction method for reinforced soil structures. The system allows for straight or terraced faces, adding to the aesthetic effect.

Steep Slopes Using Geotextile Wrap Around Facings
The Woven and Non-woven Geotextiles can also be used for the construction of Steep Slopes using Wrap around of Geotextiles.

GWRL has done such projects where the there was a restriction in use of space hence the steep reinforced slopes was the only solution.
