Special
Features
Reinforced
Earth with grid cladding built on grade has the following
advantages.
Reduced
embedment and consequently reduction in the area of wall required
Elimination
of special elements since upper elements are a constant level
beneath the shoulder breakpoint of the road
Construction
does not inhibit the earthworks and long runs of wall can
be constructed at a time
Easy
survey since setting out is only required once at the start
of the construction and the levels of the foundation are limited
to increments of the panel height beneath the shoulder breakpoint
level
