Lateral Support is a method of ground reinforcement and improvement that uses a range of soil nails or rock anchors to achieve stability.  In many cases there is insufficient space alongside road cuttings or deep excavations to allow for a mass gravity retaining wall or reinforced soil wall. 

Gabions or MacMat® R are used in conjunction with soil nails or rock anchors to prevent surface erosion of the slope by environmental effects.

There are two types of Lateral Support -

  • Gabions with Lateral Support
  • MacMat® R with Lateral Support
