MSE wall design and build in Malaysia.
Infraconcrete Construction Sdn Bhd delivers turnkey MSE wall design and build (EPC) across Malaysia. Geotechnical engineering responsibility from project report to as-built handover, plus StrataGrid PET reinforcement supply (sole STRATA Geosystems Malaysia distributor via Starwall), plus facing supply (StrataBlock modular block, StrataWall precast panel, gabion-faced), plus CIDB G7 installation. Heights 4-25 m. Design per BS 8006-1 + FHWA-NHI-10-024 + AASHTO LRFD + NCMA SRW Design Manual + Eurocode 7. Project-specific Professional Indemnity insurance. ISO 9001:2015.
Where this delivery model earns its premium.
Standard MSE wall 4-25 m
StrataGrid PET 50-300 kN/m horizontal reinforcement layers. Modular block facing (StrataBlock) for residential / commercial up to 8 m. Precast panel facing (StrataWall) for federal highway 8-25 m. Design per BS 8006-1 + FHWA-NHI-10-024 with all five stability checks.
Bridge abutment with reinforced soil
StrataGrid 100-300 kN/m + precast panel facing. AASHTO LRFD design coordination with bridge structural team. Federal corridor scope (EKVE, ECRL approach embankments). Approach slab and transition zone detailing.
Terraced wall system
For walls above 25 m or where aesthetic requires setbacks. Multiple wall tiers with intermediate berms. Each tier designed as standalone MSE wall plus global stability across all tiers. Hillside hotel and residential development typical application.
Gabion-faced reinforced soil wall
StrataGrid tail-back with gabion box facing. Heights 5-15 m. Permeable and vegetated-face aesthetic. Pairs gabion's settlement tolerance with geogrid's height capacity. Common on township and hillside residential developments.
Segmental retaining wall (SRW)
Modular block dry-stacked with StrataGrid geogrid reinforcement. NCMA SRW Design Manual connection capacity verification. Heights 1-8 m typical. Architectural finish through textured block face. Residential and commercial high-visibility applications.
Reinforced soil bridge approach
StrataGrid reinforcement under bridge approach slab. Reduces differential settlement at bridge-embankment interface. AASHTO LRFD design coordination. Common federal road scope.
What governs the design.
| Code / Standard | Coverage |
|---|---|
| BS 8006-1:2010+A1:2016 | Primary UK/Commonwealth code for reinforced soils. External + internal stability framework |
| FHWA-NHI-10-024 | US AASHTO LRFD methodology for MSE walls. Often used in parallel with BS 8006-1 |
| AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications | Bridge abutment with reinforced soil approach embankment |
| NCMA SRW Design Manual | Segmental retaining wall connection capacity, modular block facing |
| BS EN 1997 (Eurocode 7) | Geotechnical design framework, partial factor LRFD |
| BS EN ISO 13431 | Tensile creep and creep rupture (RF_CR for 100-year design) |
| BS EN ISO 13438 | Oxidation and durability (RF_CH) |
| BS EN ISO 10722 | Installation damage (RF_ID) |
| BS EN ISO 10319 / ASTM D6637 | Wide-width tensile strength of geogrid |
| JKR-SPJ Section 7 | Malaysian federal works alignment |
What lands on the consultant's desk.
- Design report: assumptions, geotechnical parameters, code stack, five stability check results, reduction factor framework, sensitivity analysis.
- Calculation backup: MSEW / Wall Calc / Slope-W / Plaxis / ReSSA software output with input data.
- Drawings: plan, sections, details, reinforcement schedule (layer position, length, tensile grade, orientation), facing detail, foundation, drainage.
- Material schedule: StrataGrid grade per layer, facing units (StrataBlock or StrataWall), connection hardware, backfill specification.
- Construction sequence: lift-by-lift fill placement, compaction control, reinforcement placement, facing erection, drainage installation.
- QA programme: roll receipt, batch sampling, pullout testing per ASTM D6706, connection capacity verification, daily diary.
- Monitoring proposal: inclinometer behind wall face, strain gauge on geogrid layer, settlement plate, optical survey monuments on wall face. Trigger levels per design.
- Risk register: identified risks with mitigation and residual owner allocation.
Lump sum or design fee plus measured.
Lump sum (LSTK)
Single project price for design + StrataGrid supply + facing supply + installation + QA + handover. Residential and commercial standard. Buyer pays known price, contractor manages variability within risk envelope.
Design fee + measured
Design fee fixed or percentage of construction (3-8 percent typical). Construction by measured quantity at agreed rates. Federal works standard (JKR, LLM, KKR). Bridge abutment EPC fee typically higher percentage due to AASHTO LRFD coordination overhead.
