SierraScape

There are two different applications within the SierraScape wire-formed retaining wall system, each providing the owner, architect and engineer with a variety of options to fit their specific needs.

For projects with +70° grade-separations, the SierraScape System is a cost-effective alternative to concrete-faced wall systems. It is the only wire-formed wall system with a positive, mechanical connection that assures long-term connection integrity. The positive connection better withstands differential settlement and offers exceptional performance in areas where seismic activity or heavy external loads are a concern.

The SierraScape System can also be used for pressure relief applications. Because the system effectively reinforces surrounding fill, lateral soil loads against the below-grade structure are eliminated. Therefore, you can design lower cost foundation walls that are structurally equivalent to conventional methods. New building foundations or existing bridges, flood walls, and other retaining wall construction and rehabilitation projects can benefit from this technology.

This system is also the ideal alternative to complete demolition and replacement of an existing structure in order to accommodate increased loads due to facility expansion.

The SierraScape system provides an economic and aesthetic alternative to conventional retaining walls, replacing them with natural, landscaped, sloping structures almost indistinguishable from the native terrain.

Three facing options are available:

•  Plantable vegetative

•  Stone filled

•  Decorative stone

Versatility and east of installation makes Sierrascape walls an affordable alternative to traditional construction methods.
