NAUE PANEL

When embankments are planned with angles exceeding 70°, a vegetated face is usually not possible or requires significant and potentially cost-prohibitive work. These situations require harder exteriors and high-strength reinforcement, but aesthetic, economical facings are still possible. The NAUE PANEL Secugrid® geogrid system provides high-strength reinforcement to earth structures and walls and utilizes precast concrete panels for exterior design flexibility. Secugrid® reinforcement geogrids are installed between or connected to the facing elements. NAUE PANEL is characterized by a high degree of design options, making it adaptable to project-specific requirements, different wall geometries and attractive aesthetic faces while being extremely cost-effective and quick and easy to construct. Walls and slopes can be built to 90° angles.

Applications:

• Retaining walls of all kinds
• Bridge abutments
• As a replacement for gravity walls
• Road and rail noise barriers

System Components:

• Primary Secugrid® PET geogrid reinforcement
• Precast concrete panels

Advantages:

• Quick and easy to construct
• Flexible exterior designs and configurations
• High load capacity
• Secugrid® geogrids can be used with cement- and limestabilized soils
• Enables different, project-specific aesthetic facings
• Walls can be shaped to special corners and layouts (e.g., rounded)
• Site soils and stones may be used
