Reinforced soil walls are retaining structures that combine layers of compacted soil with synthetic materials as reinforcement elements. In this sense, geogrids or geotextiles act as internal reinforcement for the wall, allowing for the construction of high-rise structures.
Additionally, regarding their façade, these structures can employ modular blocks or flexible façades, such as geocells, making them an effective and adaptable solution for various civil engineering applications.

El Ejército Bridge Expansion, Lima, Peru
As part of expanding the operational capacity of the El Ejército Bridge and alleviating heavy traffic congestion at one of the main access points to Metropolitan Lima, entry and exit ramps were implemented using reinforced soil wall (RSW) systems with modular concrete block façades. This solution allowed for the creation of structures measuring over 100 meters in length and four traffic lanes, adapting to the complex geometry of the route, which includes curved sections and topographic variations.
To ensure the system’s structural stability and efficiency, extruded uniaxial geogrids were used as reinforcement elements, achieving functional integration between the foundation soil and the roadway superstructure. The choice of RSM with modular blocks offered advantages in terms of construction speed, resistance to dynamic loads, and durability in high-traffic areas, consolidating its position as a strategic solution for large-scale urban infrastructure projects.
Callao Expressway, Lima, Peru
As part of the transformation of Elmer Faucett Avenue into Callao’s first expressway, reinforced soil wall (RSW) systems with modular blocks were implemented to form the access ramps, slope support, and associated structures for the new road corridor. The project included widening the roadway to six lanes with side collectors, from Venezuela Avenue to Jorge Chávez International Airport, significantly improving vehicular traffic on one of Lima’s main access arteries.
Given the presence of uncontrolled fill soils and semi-loose silty gravel, this structural solution was chosen, which significantly reduced the depth of the foundations, making the project both technically and economically viable. In approximately four months, approximately 1,800 m² of walls reinforced with uniaxial geogrids were built, demonstrating their construction efficiency and ability to adapt to complex soils without compromising safety or project deadlines.
Av. Sucre Costa Verde, Lima, Peru
As part of the Costa Verde beach circuit expansion project, reinforced soil walls (RSWs) with modular blocks and extruded uniaxial geogrids were implemented to build the access ramps at the Av. Sucre interchange. This solution optimized the flow and organization of vehicular traffic in an area with high mobility demand, mitigating congestion problems and improving urban connectivity along the Lima coast.
In addition to their technical performance, these systems offered a harmonious visual integration with the coastal environment thanks to their modular façade, achieving an efficient and aesthetically pleasing infrastructure for the city. The choice of this structural technology not only responded to strength and durability criteria, but also to the need for a project that could be quickly installed with minimal impact on existing roadways.
Intercultural University of the Central Jungle, Junín, Peru
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 façade were selected to form stable terraces on the campus of the Universidad Intercultural de la Selva Central Juan Santos Atahualpa (UNISCJSA).
These systems, composed entirely of polymeric materials, offer corrosion resistance, efficient assembly, and harmonious integration with the jungle environment. In addition to its structural performance, the choice of a green façade added landscape value, positioning the TECWEB MSR as a technically sound and environmentally compatible alternative to conventional solutions.
