What happens here

Geogrid, a critical component for engineered retaining walls, is laid horizontally behind the installed blocks. This black, mesh-like fabric locks into the face of the retaining wall and integrates with the soil behind it, effectively creating one cohesive mass that resists pressure from the retained earth. It is placed after a few courses of blocks are laid and before backfilling.

Goal: Integrate geogrid into the retaining wall structure for enhanced stability.

Tools and materials

  • Geogrid — Reinforcing the soil behind the retaining wall
  • Shovel — Spreading soil evenly over the geogrid
  • Utility Knife — Cutting geogrid to size

What they say

Hide

now when you're building an engineered retaining wall one of the most critical things that you've got at dale is the geo grid and the geogrid if you look right here is that black mesh like fabric that lays horizontally behind the retaining wall that geo grid locks into the face of the retaining wall and what it does is it holds the face of the retaining wall to with all of the soil behind it so that everything then moves as one mass
