The MSE panel
retaining wall system performs extremely well in
a multitude of conditions, and particularly well in seismic
zones, due to the built-in flexibility of the system, which allows for
some movement without distressing the structure or causing cracks. MSE
Panel Retaining Walls
can also tolerate a certain amount of settlement, making it a
desirable solution even in relatively poor subsoil conditions.
The MSE Panel retaining
wall system is made up of a precast
concrete fascia panel and reinforcing steel that is tied to the back
of the fascia and extends horizontally into preselected and compacted
earth backfill. The interaction among the facing panels, reinforcing
steel and the selected backfill forms a block-like structure that can
be used to support elevated roads or similar construction.
The precast fascia can be
manufactured with many different textures and colors.

Grand Soleil Casino,
Natchez, MS
PROJECT
FACTS:
Wall Area
= 32,500 SF;
Max Ht
= 47 FT
CHALLENGE: The riverboat casino development required a submerged
retaining wall to support the proposed buildings and
parking lot along
the
banks of Mississippi River.
SOLUTION: Pinnacle Design/Build constructed a MSE panel wall that
was submerged into the flowing Mississippi River
that was able to
withstand the annual flood waters.
VALUE: The developer was able to realize the cost savings over
other conventional construction techniques.

University of Virginia - North Grounds Connector,
Charlottesville, VA
PROJECT
FACTS:
Wall Area
= 24,200 SF;
Max Ht
= 42 FT
CHALLENGE: The
University of Virginia needed a new roadway over a
stream valley.
SOLUTION: Pinnacle Design/Build constructed two back to back 42 ft
tall MSE- panel retaining walls to support the
elevated roadway.
VALUE:
The MSE retaining walls were constructed quickly and at a
lower cost than conventional retaining wall options.
The vertical
retaining walls minimized the roadway’s footprint
onto the stream valley.

Consolidated Rental Car Facility
(CONRAC), Hartsfield-Jackson Int. Airport,
Atlanta, GA
PROJECT
FACTS:
Wall Area
= 2,200 SF;
Max Ht
= 29 FT
CHALLENGE:
The City of Atlanta required a new bridge and embankment
at a key intersection inside the new CONRAC facility
under construction at the Hartsfield-Jackson
International Airport.
SOLUTION: Pinnacle
Design/Build constructed an MSE Panel retaining walls to
form the abutments on both sides of the bridge. We also
constructed precast and cast-in-place concrete coping to
finish the top of the walls.
VALUE:
The MSE-Panel Retaining Wall supplied the structural
support required while its architectural finish provided
an aesthetically pleasing touch.
