VSoL® for Storage Tanks & Silos

Reinforced earth retaining wall system for foundation support and seismic resilience

VSoL® is an advanced reinforced-earth wall solution combining concrete facings, soil reinforcement and granular backfill to create reliable retaining structures that support storage tank and silo construction. The system enables work at multiple elevations on constrained sites and addresses high seismic load requirements, which are critical for facilities such as LNG tanks and large silos.

Why VSoL® for storage tanks & silos

Sites for storage tanks and silos often present ground constraints, variable soil conditions and high seismic demands. VSoL® walls provide a retaining earth solution that supports excavation and foundation works beside tanks and silos without impacting adjacent structures. Their resilient design also helps withstand seismic forces and supports stable operation under dynamic loads.

VSoL® walls combine soil reinforcement and concrete facing. This supports excavation and load retention near storage foundations.

The system withstands high seismic loads required for LNG containment and large tanks.

Supports work at different levels on restricted sites.

Integrated system can reduce time and cost for retaining structures.

Walls can be used for construction phases or left in place as part of the permanent design.
