Strength, Set In Steel

Keystone KeySteel SQFT. Panel System is a world-class structural retaining wall system, specifically designed for use with highways and heavy construction. KeySteel combines patented Keystone modular concrete units and inextensible steel soil reinforcement to develop an extremely stable, aesthetically appealing and cost-effective retaining wall structure.

Keystone KeySteel’s aesthetic options include a wide range of completed walls without the high cost of customization. KeySteel also utilizes design methodology and material components that comply with the standards for inextensible reinforcement as outlined in the current AASHTO Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges.

Features and Benefits of the KeySteel Panel System:

Durable Components

  • Inextensible steel reinforcement and 75 to 100 years of design life

Aesthetic Appeal

  • Wide variety of color options, textures and patterns

Design Flexibility

  • Curves, corners and unique geometries

Ease of Construction

  • Quick and easy, no cranes required

Cost-Effective Results

  • Competitive with other MSE structures

Intended for the Most Demanding Jobs

  • Deflections with steel reinforcement are reduced by over 66% compared to geosynthetic reinforcement

Ideal for Deflection Sensitive Applications:

  • Bridge abutments
  • Tall walls
  • Walls with heavy surcharges
  • Walls where loads or structures bear on or are immediately behind the reinforced mass

SS Credit 5.1 – Site Development, Protect or Restore Habitat, 1 Point

Intent – Conserve existing natural areas and restore damaged areas to provide habitat and promote biodiversity.

Potential contribution: Retaining Wall Systems
  • Eliminate sloped transitions to reduce disturbed area
  • Increase vegetated footprint by enabling terraced landscapes
  • Use vertical cuts to replace steep erodible slopes

MR Credit 5.1 – Regional Materials, 1-2 Points

Intent – Increase demand for building materials and products that are extracted and manufactured locally to a job site in hopes to reduce the environmental impact that would result from transporting these goods. Products manufactured, extracted and recycled within 500 miles of the project site for a minimum of 10% (1 point) or 20% (2 points), based on cost of the total materials value.
