Precast MSE wall coping is a solution for applying a uniform appearance along the top of a retaining wall, hiding the top edge of facing panels.
It allows a contractor to set MSE wall coping units along the top of the wall, greatly reducing the use of cast-in-place concrete.
Precast MSE Wall Coping Solutions
The MSE wall coping units are designed to rest atop the retaining wall stabilized by their own weight. A moment slab or mechanical connection can be used for additional stability if needed. Special MSE wall coping units can be designed to accommodate pedestrian railing, fence posts, light poles, drainage inlets, drainage ditches, and other odd geometry in the wall’s alignment. These are all items that can slow down a cast-in-place process, especially on long stretches of walls or large projects with many walls.
RECo has vast experience with coping design and continues to innovate to accommodate new applications and varying project requirements. The MSE wall coping is standardized or custom designed to provide a cost-effective way to complete a retaining wall structure.
