StrataSlope System

Nature has its limits when it comes to resolving site development problems and maximizing land use due to grade change issues.

Strata systems are classified as geosynthetic reinforced soil structures—a subset of mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) systems— which offer the most affordable and flexible approach to providing a change-in-grade construction solution. By using our StrataSlope® Systems approach, we are able to provide technical resources, project management, and site consultation from the first stages through finished construction.

The StrataSlope System utilizes a wide range of products including StrataGrid, StrataWall and StrataTex.

The StrataSlope System utilizes a wide range of products including StrataGrid, StrataWall and StrataTex. The StrataSlope System provides the technical basis and economic solution to severe topographic challenges, problematic soil conditions, and land development needs.

The system incorporates high quality, knitted geogrid materials with various face treatments that address long-term structural stability and erosion, while providing a multitude of aesthetic solutions. Strata provides innovative systems and technology that provide economic advantages while ensuring structural integrity and sound engineering principles.

Advantages of the StrataSlope System:

  • Significant cost savings compared to steel-reinforced concrete structures
  • Tolerant of total or differential settlement
  • Multiple facing solutions including vegetation and rock fill
  • Fast Installation (1,000 to 1,500 sf/day)
  • Environmentally friendly
  • Minimal impact on environmental areas (i.e. wetlands, natural habitats)
  • Excellent structural capacity (i.e. 70º reinforced slopes exceeding 90-ft vertical height)
  • Utilize on-site fill or minimize borrow requirements
