Other Retaining Structures
Mechanically stabilised earth (MSE) walls, gabion structures, crib walls, king post walls, and other hybrid retaining systems rely on complex soil–structure interaction to achieve stability. Their performance can be compromised by changes in loading and degradation of reinforcement due to ageing assets and climate-related extremes. These mechanisms can reduce stability and directly impact adjacent infrastructure. Minova delivers engineered ground support and reinforcement solutions. Our systems include high-capacity anchors, soil and rock reinforcement, and targeted ground improvement to increase shear resistance, improve load transfer, control pore water pressures, and limit deformation. Working collaboratively with designers and asset owners, we develop solutions aligned with site-specific ground conditions and performance requirements, restoring structural capacity, reducing long-term risk, and extending the service life of critical retaining structures.
Engineering Challenge
- Toe Erosion, Undermining and Loss of Passive Resistance
- Softening Soils and Reduced Bearing Capacity at the Footing
- Differential Settlement and Rotation about the Toe
- Scour, Rapid Drawdown and Seasonal Water‑Level Fluctuations
- Voids beneath Footings and Loss of Contact/Support
- Weak Interfaces, Slip Planes and Base Shear Instability
- Basal Heave, Upward Pore Pressure and Bottom Stability
- Micropile Design, Load Transfer and Group Interaction
- Resin/Grout Penetration Control and Heave/Over‑pressurisation Risk
- Verification and Monitoring: Plate Loads and Proof Grouting
