Earthworks& MSE Structures
Tall MSE walls on mountain alignments are a geometry, drainage and construction-sequence problem as much as a stability calculation.
DFEC advises on earthworks and mechanically stabilised earth (MSE) structures for mountain roads, including high walls where access, fill quality, facing type and drainage control long-term performance. The 55 m MSE wall on the Jabal Al Deem / Above the Clouds access road is representative of this class of work.
Design is developed so that the contractor can execute it: facing, reinforcement layout, drainage, construction stages and verification criteria are stated, not implied.
