retaining wall for waste dump
retaining wall for waste dump
(OP)
As background, what I'm describing is the little ramp that people drive up and toss their trash over into a dumpster, then drive back down. The dumpster would set next to the wall, and the public would drive up to the edge of the wall and throw the trash over into the dumpster.
A waste transfer station (as described above) needs a new retaining wall. Anyone ever used an MSE system for this or is it usually cast in place? The owner is telling me that it needs to be a vertical wall (no batter), other than that he has no preferences what it looks like. I had been directed towards an MSE wall by a geotech consultant, but I haven't been able to find any that can be constructed with no batter (nor can I imagine one would exist since it's not a rigid wall). Thought I'd check here before I got into the cast in place walls. Anyone ever done a wall for a waste transfer station, or similar application?

You will want to use high quality (i.e. frictional select with less than 15% fines) backfill with these systems. Actually you should want to use high quality backfill with any MSE wall system, since this is the primary determinant of wall performance.
Yours is a pretty standard application so it shouldn't be any problem to get a cost effective design and materials package from any of the above suppliers.
