Evaluation of the VERSA-LOK/Miragrid™ Reinforced Soil Wall System

This report was prepared as part of the HITEC evaluation for Earth Retaining Systems (ERS).The evaluation was performed on the VERSA-LOK™ Reinforced Soil Retaining Wall System with Mirafi Miragrid™ soil reinforcement, a mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) structure developed by VERSA-LOK Wall Systems, Incorporated. This report will describe a Highway Innovative Technology Evaluation Center (HITEC) evaluation designed to determine the basic capabilities and limitations of the VERSA-LOK/Miragrid System for use as a technically viable precast MSE retaining wall system. The evaluation was conducted based on material, design, construction, performance and quality assurance information outlined in the HITEC protocol.
