Reinforced Steep Slopes

Solution Overview

Reinforced Steep Slopes (RSS) use high-strength geogrid reinforcement to stabilize soil and enable the construction of steep to near-vertical slopes that would not be possible with conventional earthworks.

By reinforcing the soil mass internally, RSS systems increase shear strength and global stability, allowing slopes to be built with reduced footprints, lower earthworks volumes, and improved overall efficiency compared to traditional cut-and-fill or concrete solutions. This solution is suitable for road embankments, highway widenings, rail corridors, land development projects, temporary and permanent platforms.

Key Advantages:

  • Steep slopes up to 70° and beyond
  • Reduced land take and earthworks
  • Flexible system that tolerates settlement
  • Lower cost and carbon footprint than rigid structures
  • Different finishes to the slope to suit project aesthetic requirements
