PROCEDE ET ELEMENT POUR LA PRODUCTION DE STRUCTURES POUR CONTENIR DES SURFACES DU SOL

An element for use in producing stabilized soil structures comprises a sheet of double-twisted galvanized and plastic-coated metal mesh which has on one end a box portion made from panel of the sheet panels and folded up from the end of the sheet and an additional transverse panel fixed to the sheet. In use a plurality of elements are superposed with the box portions providing the anterior wall of the structure and the remainder of each sheet extending back into the structure to stabilize the structure. Each element is filled and covered with fill material before a succeeding element is positioned on it. The fold lines of panels are defined by strips introduced into the mesh of sheet during manufacture.
