Terre Arm\u00e9e\u2019s Reinforced Earth\u00ae walls<\/a> are proven to be a highly stable explosion barrier.<\/h2>\n

Our structures are designed to impede the propagation of a blast at ground level and absorb high levels of energy with strong tolerance for deformation.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Testing and approval<\/h2>\n

Full-scale blast testing of Reinforced Earth\u00ae walls<\/a> have taken place between 1975 and 2014. Tests were performed on structures built with both concrete and steel facing elements. Tests have taken place in USA, France, Germany, Australia, Israel, and South Korea.<\/p>\n

In 1988 the US Army Corps of Engineers designated Reinforced Earth walls as a standard design for reinforced soil barricades. Subsequently, the Department of Defense Explosives Safety Board (DDESB) approved our walls to protect facilities and equipment located close to explosives sites from high-velocity, low-angle fragment damage.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The official approval review documentation, (namely DEF 149-30-01) concluded the following benefits of building blast barricades with Reinforced Earth\u00ae MSE walls<\/a>. That our walls:<\/p>\n
