A reinforced soil wall is a retaining structure that combines compacted soil with reinforcing elements, such as geosynthetics or metal strips, to create a stable and resilient system. This type of wall leverages the interaction between the fill and reinforcement, allowing it to withstand soil pressures. Thus, reinforced soil walls allow for the construction of more flexible, cost-effective, and terrain-adaptable structures compared to traditional walls.
Advantages / Benefits
More economical structures: They significantly reduce costs compared to conventional solutions.
Fast and efficient construction: Their design allows for agile and simple installation, even in difficult-to-access terrain.
High structural flexibility: They adapt to differential settlements without compromising stability or performance.
Sustainability in every project: They eliminate the massive use of concrete and steel, contributing to a smaller environmental footprint.
Landscape integration with the environment: They facilitate natural finishes and the incorporation of plant coverings.

Huaycoloro Ramiro Priale Bridge, Lima - Chosica, Perú
As part of the works to improve traffic flow between Lima and Chosica and ease traffic congestion in the critical sections between Las Torres Avenue and Ramiro Prialé Road, a reinforced soil wall (RSW) system with a modular block facade was implemented. This structural solution enabled the construction of high-capacity access roads, capable of withstanding loads from heavy vehicle traffic, without compromising the integrity of the infrastructure under demanding operating conditions.
The choice of modular blocks as the front finish not only provided a harmonious aesthetic with the urban environment but also ensured high resistance to vandalism, maintaining the durability and functionality of the system. The solution provided structural efficiency, rapid execution, and compatibility with the bridge’s architectural design, contributing to a safer, more efficient, and sustainable road infrastructure.
La Legua Interchange, Piura, Perú
In response to the need to build safe and durable access ramps for the La Legua Interchange bridge, reinforced soil walls (RSW) with modular block façades were chosen. This solution was key to ensuring stability in soils composed of silty sands, where differential settlements pose a risk to conventional structures.
RSW technology enabled the construction of more than 2,850 m² of façade, ensuring reliable structural performance and rapid field execution. In addition to their technical efficiency, the modular blocks provided an aesthetic, resistant, functional, and highly durable finish for a project that significantly improves connectivity between Piura and Sullana via the Autopista del Sol.
Intercultural University Of The Central Selva, Junín, Perú
Faced with the challenges inherent to geotechnical engineering in tropical areas—such as soft soils, heavy rainfall, and high water tables—TECWEB reinforced soil walls with a vegetated facade were selected to form stable terraces on the campus of the Juan Santos Atahualpa Intercultural University of the Central Jungle (UNISCJSA).
These systems, composed entirely of polymeric materials, offer corrosion resistance, efficient assembly, and harmonious integration with the jungle environment. In addition to their structural performance, the choice of a green facade added landscape value, positioning TECWEB MSRs as a technically sound and environmentally compatible alternative to conventional solutions.
Costa Verde Ramps - Los Delfines Beach, Lima, Perú
To enable vehicle directional changes along the Costa Verde without affecting traffic flow, an access ramp was built using reinforced soil walls (RSW) made of modular blocks. The construction efficiency of this solution was crucial, as the blocks, due to their manageable size and weight, can be installed without heavy machinery, allowing the project to be carried out without interruptions or inconvenience to road users.
Furthermore, as a system free of metallic components, RSWs with modular blocks offer high resistance in marine environments, where corrosion often compromises the durability of other structures. This solution not only ensured structural stability in coastal conditions but also proved to be an effective, efficient, and compatible solution for Lima’s urban environment.
Detailed Engineering For ADr 2 Plant - Sunna Gold - QM, La Libertad, Perú
In the process of relocating its ADR (Adsorption, Desorption, and Recovery) plant, the SUMMA GOLD mining company incorporated a solution with TECWEB Reinforced Soil Walls (RSW) consisting of three levels, each 10 meters high. The structure was designed to withstand significant loads associated with mining operations, integrating criteria of flexibility in the face of differential settlements, speed of construction, and long-lasting performance in the face of demanding geotechnical conditions.
Given the mountain range’s rainfall pattern, a geocell facade with a seamless black face was selected, preventing the loss of fines to surface runoff. This configuration not only favored system stability but also allowed for better environmental integration, consolidating the TECWEB RSW as a robust, functional solution adapted to the project’s operational challenges.
