Association for Mechanically Stabilized Earth Inc Information

AMSE is the national trade association for the companies that invented and have developed mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) technology since the late 1960s. We use galvanized steel reinforcements (flat ribbed strips, welded wire mats) because: Galvanized steel offers predictable behavior and long service life. Steel reinforcements are inextensible and have high strength. MSE structures reinforced with steel do not deform under load. Steel-reinforced MSE structures are economical and fast to build. AMSE's Mission is to promote the use of steel reinforcement in Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) retaining structure construction and to participate in the development of and promote adherence to proper specifications for MSE construction. Through the AMSE Code of Ethics, Association Members commit to using good, honest business practices in their dealings with customers, suppliers and competitors, for the protection of all parties and to protect and enhance the good name of the Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) industry as a whole. > Read the AMSE Code of Ethics.
