Abstract

A retaining wall system is provided for mechanically stabilizing an earthen wall. The system comprises anchor receiving channels, anchoring tie back strips, and a plurality of connecting anchors. A face panel comprises at least one fastener receiving channel and a prefabricated wall fascia panel. Tie back members extend from the wall panels and are to be embedded within the earthen soil or backfill material thereby securing the tie backs and the wall panels in a fixed assembled, position.
