(Press Release) May 28, 2021 - When designing and building a retaining wall, there are a variety of factors to consider, regardless of whether it’s intended for residential or commercial use. Retaining wall design can improve the appearance of residential areas and also performs a host of functions in indoor areas. Clients can choose from a range of options, including privacy-enhancing structural walls, hard-scaped walls, and vegetated slopes. Nilex offers a variety of retaining walls in Calgary and other regions of Canada, that can help steepen slopes and adapt vertical variations. This feature is useful for commercial areas because it helps to optimize the amount of land that may be developed. Industrial retaining wall solutions take into account strong loading conditions and the necessity to maximize space in these locations. A spokesperson for the company says, “We offer a range of different retaining wall systems such as the Nilex-Bag wall, Gabions, MESA, Nilex Slope and the Nilex Rock system, to ensure that we give clients exactly what they require.”

Retaining walls materials used in the Nilex- MSE system are encapsulated soil bags and spikes, in combination with the engineered strength of soil reinforcing materials to offer an ecological vegetation solution. This is optimal for steep slopes and shorelines since the system will be locked in by the vegetation's roots, avoiding topsoil erosion. Gabions are essentially wire mesh baskets filled with rocks and stones and are both permeable and durable. They offer minimal soil erosion and provide hydraulic stabilization when used in conjunction with the proper geotextile.

In addition to the above, Nilex offers the MESA segmental retaining wall systems. They provide retaining walls with concrete blocks, corrosion-resistant geogrids, and MESA connectors. In addition, MESA retaining walls concrete solutions are very strong, making them ideal for industrial sites with harsh loading circumstances. Nilex Slope Retention is an MSE that uses the natural vegetation of the terrain into its retaining wall design. The Nilex Slope system offers the geogrid that supports the soil mass and gives further reinforcement to assure the surface's stability, step walls, and a site-specific facing system. Nilex Rock is a wire-formed wall retaining system that incorporates soil reinforcing geogrids, geotextiles, facing units such as stone, architectural structures, or vegetation, in order to connect the geogrids to the facing units, and landscaping components.

While a majority of Nilex solutions make use of permeable geogrids and geotextiles that allow for drainage, High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipes are used for retaining wall with a drainage pipe system. They are rust-resistant and non-corrosive, making them extremely long-lasting and resistant to deterioration.

About: For almost 40 years, Nilex has provided geosynthetic solutions. Their smart, environmentally conscious solutions are designed to benefit clients economically, technically and environmentally. This holds true for Nilex's retaining wall installation as well. These solutions can be easily implemented to residential, industrial, and commercial sites, ranging from hard surfaces to green walls to wire faced walls.
