Alternative Value Engineered MSE Foundation Solution

It was designed originally as a high-load capacity solution for temporary bridge abutments, and over the years has been used in the construction of marine bulkheads for berthing ships and barges as well as for shoreline erosion protection. Similar to an MSE wall type application, the OCSP system can be utilized for embankment stabilization where the flat steel sheet piles that make up the cellular face and vertical anchor walls work together to form a horizontally tied membrane that confines and strengthens the soil.

The system has been used effectively in locations that are susceptible to severe ice, soft soils, deep water, scour, and seismic events. PND Engineers, Inc. holds U.S. and Canada patents for OPEN CELL technology. Gerdau manufactures the unique flat web sheets incorporated into OPEN CELL structures. L.B. Foster assures material management and timely delivery of the OPEN CELL system to your jobsite.
