H ILFIKER MSE WALL SYSTEMS
Welded Wire Wall and
Eureka ReinforcedSoil (E.R.S.)
T he Hilfiker MSE System is a composite
mechanically stabilized earth structure,
designed for strength, durability and
ease of construction. The welded wire
mats reinforce thebackfill, providing
the tensile strength to make the
compacted soil a stable structure. The
superior pullout resistance of the wire
mesh allows a wide range of backfill
soils.
Properly installed, theHilfiker
MSE System is exceptionally stong,
resilient and economical.
B ackfill should preferably be select
granular material with a high frictional
strength. A lways follow your projectspecifications!

of the backfill is very
important to prevent unanticipated

must provide positive
drainage and encapsulation of the
backfill to insure that it is not
saturated with surface and subsurface
moisture. If rain is expected, protect
thebackfill from getting wet. U nder
no circumstances should the use
of wet backfill ever be permitted
within the M.S.E. structure.
