Mesa Retaining Walls

Mesa ® Retaining Wall Systems combine the economy and versatility of segmental concrete units with proven geogrid technology that has become a standard in structural wall systems.

Typically utilized on commercial, industrial, and residential projects, the Mesa System features a fully integrated system designed as a true interlocking mortar-less wall specifically designed and detailed to work together for maximum efficiency, integrity and performance. This unique mechanical end-bearing connection allows walls to be installed with a unique near-vertical face or 5/8-inch (4.5°) setback. This positive connection assures full load transfer from the wall face to the reinforcement, resulting in unsurpassed reliability. The system can be also be used to create 90° corners, stairs, and dramatic serpentine curves.

The Mesa wall incorporates block to grid mechanics with the Tensar® structural geogrid, delivering maximum structural stability for any wall height. This patented mechanical connection is so reliable that core fill is not required, and on-site soil can be used for backfill.

Mesa Systems’ Components
Component	Function
Tensar Geogrids	High-density, polyethylene (HDPE) structural geogrids internally reinforce structure and fill materials. Inert to chemical degradation, they can be used with non-select fill or even crushed concrete.
Mesa Segmental Units	High-strength concrete block with a compressive strength that exceeds AASHTO standards (>4,000 psi).
Mesa Connectors	Unique locking connectors are designed to mechanically connect the Tensar Geogrids to the Mesa Units. Provide a low-strain, end-bearing connection that is not dependent on friction for structural integrity and allow walls to be built near vertical or with a 5/8" setback.
Full Engineering and Construction Services	Detailing, design, construction services, site assistance, drawings and construction installation available for each Mesa project upon request.

If you’re looking for long-term durability, increased structural integrity and simplified construction, all at lower costs than conventional alternatives, specify the Mesa Retaining Wall Systems on your next project.
