The Reinforced Earth Company Australia and New Zealand (RECo) is a leading civil and geotechnical engineering firm, boasting 60 years of global experience across 40 countries. With a celebrated 50-year legacy in Australia, we provide solutions for soil structure interaction to retain, cross, protect and strengthen.

Retain

We develop bespoke earth retaining solutions, including Mechanically Stabilised Earth (MSE) walls and various other retaining structures. The panels for our precast concrete walls are be supplied in various panel shapes, sizes and surfaces, uniquely designed and supplied for each and every project.

Cross

Our expertise extends to designing structures to cross obstacles, encompassing bridge abutments, concrete underpasses, precast concrete arch tunnels, culverts and wildlife crossings.

Protect

We deploy robust protection systems to mitigate damage from geohazards and natural disasters, including rockfall protection, debris flow mitigation and erosion control.

Strengthen

Our portfolio includes designing and supplying materials for geosynthetic soil reinforcement in applications like basal reinforcement and slope stabilisation.

This expansive portfolio of techniques applies to a wide range of structures for an extended array of market segments, including; roads and motorways, environment, railways, hydraulic works, mining, industry, energy, commercial, housing or military.

In 1963, Henri Vidal, a French engineer, developed a new composite material using earth as a raw material.

Easy-to-use, the Reinforced Earth® technology quickly took hold as an ideal reinforced backfill solution, spawning the development of a company with offices across the five continents in just a few decades.

Today, Reinforced Earth / Terre Armée concentrates an unequalled combination of expertise and accumulated experience in the fields of soil-structure interaction and engineered backfills.
