ParaWeb™ Reinforced Systems

Proven Soil Reinforcement for Critical Infrastructure

ParaWeb™ is a high-performance soil reinforcement system that enables the construction of mechanically stabilised earth (MSE) structures for a wide range of civil and infrastructure applications. Manufactured from high-tenacity polyester yarns encased within a durable polyethylene sheath, ParaWeb delivers exceptional tensile strength, long-term durability, and proven performance in demanding environments.

Used globally for more than three decades, ParaWeb has become a trusted solution for engineers seeking cost-effective alternatives to conventional concrete and piled structures while maintaining the highest levels of structural reliability.

Engineering Flexibility Without Compromise

ParaWeb transforms engineered fill into a reinforced structural mass capable of supporting significant loads while accommodating ground movement and settlement. This makes it particularly suited to projects where traditional rigid structures may be difficult, expensive, or impractical to construct.

The system can be combined with a variety of facing solutions, including precast concrete panels, Stone Strong blocks, modular block systems, wire-faced walls, and proprietary architectural finishes, providing flexibility for both structural and aesthetic requirements.

Key Benefits

Accelerated Construction

Installation is fast and efficient using conventional earthworks equipment and methodologies, reducing programme durations and minimising disruption to surrounding infrastructure.

Cost-Effective Design

ParaWeb can significantly reduce foundation requirements, material quantities, and construction costs when compared with traditional reinforced concrete solutions.

Excellent Seismic Performance

The flexible nature of reinforced soil structures allows them to absorb and accommodate ground movement during seismic events, making ParaWeb particularly well-suited to projects in earthquake-prone regions.

Settlement Tolerance

Unlike rigid concrete structures, ParaWeb reinforced systems can accommodate differential settlement while maintaining structural integrity and performance.

Long-Term Durability

The polyester reinforcement is fully encapsulated within a protective polyethylene sheath, providing excellent resistance to environmental degradation and ensuring long-term design performance.

Applications

ParaWeb is suitable for a wide range of infrastructure and civil engineering projects, including:

  • Bridge abutments and wing walls
  • Highway retaining walls
  • Rail infrastructure
  • Grade separations and overpasses
  • Embankment stabilisation
  • Steepened slopes
  • Port and marine infrastructure
  • Industrial developments
  • Commercial developments
  • Land development projects
  • Temporary and permanent earth retention structures
