Industry
| Reinforced Earth® technology has been
selected for numerous industrial applications for its high resistance to
loading. Extensive research into sloping walls used in storage silos
has created additional use applications including containment walls, discharge
walls, glory holes and truck dumps. Reinforced Earth walls are used as
containment facilities where resistance to explosions, accidental spillage,
overflows, thermal shock or fire are critical considerations. In extreme
situations industrial containment structures have been designed to withstand
temperatures of -160 degrees C° for liquid natural gas and up to a flame
temperature of 1100 degrees C°. |
