These reinforced soil structures are commonly referred to by engineers as Reinforced Soil Slopes (RSS) or Geosynthetic Reinforced Slopes (GRS). Geoquest’s success in this field has led to solutions that have reached a world record-setting RSS structure being built to a height exceeding 100m.\n\n![](https://www.geoquest-group.com.my/wp-content/uploads/sites/14/2021/03/GeoTrel4.jpg)\n\nApplications\n------------\n\nSteep slopes are used for the very diverse applications such as:\n\n*   earth retaining structures\n*   platform support\n*   slope rehabilitation\n*   gravitational risk protection (rockfall, landslides, avalanches)\n*   protective bunds (sight barriers, explosion and assault barriers, sight and noise barriers)\n*   flood levees and dikes\n*   landfills\n\nDesign flexibility\n------------------\n\nOur unique approach provides engineers and builders with a range of technical solutions to best address your particular project requirements. This allows for designers to combine choices of facing elements with a unique selection of soil reinforcements. Facing elements and soil reinforcement components are precisely engineered by Geoquest on a project-specific basis, whether being permanent or temporary slope structures.\n\nMineral facing\n--------------\n\n**ArmaStone®** is an engineered solution for reinforced soil slopes which require an attractive mineral look, either to mimic the surrounding natural environment or simply to provide pleasing aesthetics for urban and peri-urban infrastructure.\n\n**ArmaStone®**\n\n**Facing system options**\n\n \n\n**Soil reinforcement options**\n\n**Premium**\n\nGalvanized steel mesh, for increased durability\n\n**GS**\n\nGeostrips (GeoStrap™, EcoStrap™)\n\n**Standard**\n\nBlack steel mesh\n\n**GG**\n\nArmaGrid® or TerraTextile™\n\n \n\n \n\n**ST**\n\nSteel strips\n\n[Page load link](#)\n\n[Go to Top](#)","original_url":"https://www.geoquest-group.com.my/reinforced-earth/armastone/","path":"/reinforced-earth/armastone","title":"ArmaStone® mineral faced steep slope","page_type":"page","word_count":277,"key_claims":[],"content_summary":null,"topics":[],"author":null,"published_date":null,"price":null,"currency":"MYR","parent_profile":{"id":"fa4e73e4-b877-4259-a78a-cdc456d8c353","slug":"geoquest-group-com-my","name":"Geoquest: Expert in soil-structure interaction","url":"https://geoquest-group.com.my/"}}
