• Retaining walls are required for a
wide variety of projects, from landscape gardening to the civil
engineering design of roads and dam walls. Complying with the
Australian Standard AS4678 for retaining walls adds extra
complexity and paperwork for designers and engineers.
• ESS embeds its engineering experience
into ENVIROwall, an easy-to-use program that reduces calculation
time from hours to just minutes. ENVIROwall takes the pain out
of retaining wall calculations by providing software that models
that design problem and provides results instantly. ENVIROwall
even lets you experiment with various retaining walls systems
and backfills to optimise your design.
• ENVIROwall delivers value to individuals
and companies involved in land development work; especially
civil engineering professionals, and local authorities that need
to analyse and design retaining walls to Limit State Australian
Standard AS4678 or Classic Soil Mechanics Principle
(International method).
•
Reduces days to minutes: ENVIROwall
is a quick, easy, accurate and proven way to perform retaining
wall calculations. Each month, ENVIROwall can reduce days of
manual calculations to minutes.
• Meets most needs : ENVIROwall
caters for almost any retaining wall type including: gravity,
concrete mini crib, timber crib, gabion, segmental block work,
segmental rubber tyre, solid block work, soil reinforced,
cantilever timber and steel post, reinforced concrete and
reinforced block work. This allows you to meet any potential
need.
• Built-in expertise: ENVIROwall can
design walls for almost any soil condition associated with the
retained, reinforcing and foundation soils. The soil type
options include loose, medium and dense sands as well as soft,
stiff, very stiff and gravely soils. This ensures that your
design will meet the demands of the surrounding conditions.
• Easy, quick and clever: ENVIROwall
solves most retaining wall design problems with ease. It is
fast, accurate and comes with a built-in intelligent
job-costing calculator, making it easy for you to turn around
top-quality jobs built to budget.
• Easy-to-read reports: ENVIROwall
presents results in an easy-to-read graphical and tabular
format. This puts all the information required for clients and
local authorities at your fingertips.
• Easy to review: ENVIROwall's
graphical and tabular results allow you to pinpoint potential
design concerns easily.
• Instant information: . ENVIROwall
provides all the data you want including dimensional detail,
loads (surcharge, live and dead), analysis results, failure
wedge line, resulting forces and the cross section area of a
wall.
• Eliminates guesswork: ENVIROwall
can determine the 'Ka' and Failure Plane values for you
automatically, based on soil details. This means no more
guesswork or additional calculations.
• Increases safety margins:
ENVIROwall checks criteria factors for safe design including:
external overturning moments, external and internal sliding
capacity, external bearing capacity, internal facing shear
forces, internal reinforcement tensile over stress strength
and pull out forces. This arms you with the knowledge for
safer retaining wall designs.
• Calculates costs accurately:
ENVIROwall assists engineers that need to provide job costing
with a smart estimator to determine the expected supply costs
based on the design parameters used.
• ENVIROwall is the only retaining wall design software
that complies with the Limit State AS4678 Australian Code.
• ENVIROwall offers a unique graphical interface that is
easy to read and simple to use.
• ENVIROwall encompasses everything in one easy
solution. It comprehensively satisfies the needs by addressing
every retaining wall material and installation location,
including the patented Ecoflex Rubber Tyre system.
• ENVIROwall improves speed and accuracy with its
built-in cost estimator tool.
• ESS partners with clients to make
the impossible happen. As well as solving business problems for
the steel industry, ESS engineers software that improves
quality, reduces risk and cuts costs for clients in a wide range
of industries. For more, visit
