Civil engineering structures are an integral part of our everyday life and help improve living standards as a whole. With its wealth of technical and architectural advantages, Terre Armée structures play a role in enhancing the appearance and design of our environment. The architectural flexibility of the Reinforced Earth® technology is clearly apparent when used for land development and housing in close liaison with architects, city planners and landscapers. Concrete facings come in a wide variety of finishes and patterns. Welded wire mesh facings represent a durable solution for building reinforced embankments that blend seamlessly into the environment, either by covering with vegetation or a stone finish.
