The retaining wall is constructed by combining\u202fstructurally reinforced\u202fconcrete units with engineered backfill. Monolithic concrete units are cast with perpendicular stems attached to a generally rectangular or square facing that together forms the shape of a \u201cT\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>
With more than 850,000 m2 now installed, T-Wall\u00ae is used wherever conventional retaining walls, non-gravity cantilevered walls, anchored walls, mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls, and prefabricated modular walls are considered. Suited to build in areas having restrictive excavation limits, engineers specify this solution for building grade separations for roadways<\/a> and railways<\/a>, and for earth retention along coastlines <\/a>and waterways<\/a>. Urban and residential<\/a> developers also appreciate T-Wall\u00ae for landscaping and commercial work sites.<\/p>\n Installation is simple and efficient. The units are\u202faligned on levelling pads along the base and then are repeatedly stacked and backfilled\u202fwith layers of compacted\u202fgranular soil or alternative fill measures. This forms a\u202fcomposite gravity\u202fmass capable of supporting very high static and dynamic loads.<\/p>\n For a conventional T-Wall\u00ae installation, as the units are stacked, the length of the stems decreases as the wall height increases, therefore reducing the amount of excavation and backfill quantities required to install as compared to other gravity wall systems.<\/p>\n For \u201cinverted\u201d T-Wall\u00ae installation, the length of the stems is shortest along the base course, and increase as the wall height increases. Similar to a conventional T-Wall\u00ae, the amount of excavation and backfill quantities required are minimized.<\/p>\n Terre Arm\u00e9e engineers are experts in mastering soil-structure interaction design. The fundamental design approach assures that the stem allows for pullout resistance against the lateral earth pressure exerted on the rear of the facing, therefore internally stabilizing the structure. The basic design of a T-Wall\u00ae addresses both the internal and external stability of the wall system and includes, but not limited to:<\/p>\n Our engineers address project-specific site conditions in each T-Wall\u00ae design. For example, seismic loading, drainage, water height, and fixtures such as traffic barriers, parapets, and noise walls that are supported by or influence the structure\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Due to its characteristics coupled with world-class engineering expertise, T-Wall\u00ae has proven to be a very durable solution.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> T-Wall\u00ae requires very limited maintenance, allowing for significant reduction of relaetd costs on the long run.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> T-Wall\u00ae offers a wide range of architectural finish options.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Terre Arm\u00e9e companies design and supply the T-Wall\u00ae precast modular retaining wall solution for roadway, railway and landscape construction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":6723,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"portfolio_category":[150,73],"portfolio_skills":[],"portfolio_tags":[],"class_list":["post-5702","avada_portfolio","type-avada_portfolio","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio_category-solutions-type","portfolio_category-t-wall"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nMajor benefits<\/h2>\n
