Barrier Bag MSE Vegetation
Engineered vegetated walls and slopes have been desired for ages. The challenge has always been the stability of soils placed steeper than the natural angle of repose.
Placed as modular bags, vegetation grows through the geosynthetic fabric to reinforce the soil within and beyond the face.
Barrier Bag MSE prevents the erosion of surface soils, and avoids the cost and inconsistency of wrap slopes.
Barrier Bag MSE creates and maintains a successful vegetated near vertical surface.
The system allows the root system to penetrate through both front and back layer of geotextile as well as grow into the backfill.
In addition, vegetation options such as pre-seeding for near or in water applications, hydro seeding, live planting, live stacking as well as brush layering can be utilized with Barrier Bag.
Native vegetation and woody plants can penetrate several feet of embedment and backfill.
The modular ecology bags are constructed with small vertical heights making it easy to build without any bulging or sagging of the face.
Mini ‘eco-pockets’ exist between each row and each bag where rain water can accumulate and seeds can germinate.
The Barrier Bag MSE system addresses these challenges and more.
