Description:

The forms and struts are constructed using W4 diameter steel and the forms are 18” tall by 18” deep and 10’ long. The forms have 4” by 4” apertures. There are a variety of benefits in using welded wire forms when constructing an MSE wall. Because of the open face nature of a WWF wall design, the water behind the wall can simply drain through the face reducing the hydrostatic pressure on the facing units compared to a traditional concrete masonry unit.

The forms are available in either black, electro galvanized or hot dipped galvanized meeting ASTM A123. The welded wire form is engineered to provide a form for backfilling soil or rock during the construction of geosynthetic reinforced mechanically stabilized earth structures.

Structs are a steel product produced using 4 gauge wire with hooked ends to be used in conjunction with welded wire forms. Used in construction of reinforced soil slopes earth structures, the struts are used to maintain the 90 degree angle of the welded wire form during backfilling.
