The Importance of Proper Specifications for MSE walls
Using proper specifications in the design and construction of MSE walls is crucial to having a successful project. Up-to-date, technically appropriate specifications allow you to:
Customize the design to the reinforcement type (bar mats, welded wire mats, strips).
Properly account for all loading conditions, including traffic and/or earth surcharges.
Be sure the structure has the required design life.
Control/check the characteristics of the manufactured/supplied construction materials (face panels, reinforcements, accessories, backfill).
Verify that proper erection procedures are being followed.
Check required facing appearance (ordinary surface or architectural finish).
Control plumbness and alignment of the facing.
Control placement and compaction of the backfill.
