The construction of the Riyadh metro project commenced, and it required the construction of retaining structures as access towards the metro station. These walls help save land space in busy areas and also enable faster construction.

Strata Geosystems provided the technical expertise and geosynthetic products required for the construction of the retaining wall. The combined years of experience helped reduce the cost of the project without compromising on any quality. The project involved the construction of a retaining wall as access to the metro station. StrataGrid™ 60 (uniaxial flexible geogrid of 60 kN strength) was used for the reinforcement of the vertical MSE wall.

The benefits included utilizing the local infill and jersey barriers, thereby reducing the transportation costs and carbon footprint.

Therefore StrataGrid™ was selected as an innovative solution for the reinforcement of the vertical mechanically stabilized wall.
