Channel Protection

The MiraCell™ cellular confinement system's multi layer design makes it very adaptable to specific retaining wall application requirements. The MiraCell™ system confines and reinforces granular fill, producing a uniform structural mass that resists lateral pressures and maintains structural integrity. MiraCell™ sections can be used in vertical, near vertical or stepped designs and the system supports non-structural facias or natural vegetative cover. A variety of infill material can be used with MiraCell™ earth retention system. The choice of infill material is based upon the demand of specific project / problem. Infill materials include

- Granular materials such as sand, gravel or graded stone.
- Concrete of various strengths and surface finishes.
- Topsoil with various selected vegetation.

Typical applications of MiraCell™ earth retention systems are

- Widening within existing rights-of-way of roads or railways
- Adding a lane of traffic or parking space
- Grading development sites to boundary limits
- Emergency vehicle access
- Expanding sports fields and storage yards
- Reshaping and stabilizing storm water channels
- Storm water detention structures
- Repair of failed slopes

Flexible Design Solutions

The MiraCell™ cellular confinement systems provide the most flexible retention structure available. Due to this flexibility MiraCell™ walls can be constructed over more variable and compressible foundation soils than systems with conventional rigid earth retaining structures. A large deformation can be tolerated without loss of structural integrity or adversely affecting the aesthetics.

Composite Retaining Walls

Cellular confinement with MiraCell™ system eliminates the need for costly structural facia panels. The MiraCell™ system provides a fully confined wall facing that can be used with a variety of tie back systems such as geogrid reinforcements, earth anchors etc.

Durable System

The MiraCell™ earth retention system is extremely durable, manufactured from high density polyethylene material that is resistant to penetration by chemicals and water. Unlike concrete steel and timber based retaining structures the MiraCell™ system eliminates potential for cracking, spalling, splintering or corrosion. The MiraCell™ system is very adaptable to structures exposed to sea water, extreme pH soils and chemicals.
