This system is ideal for the construction of vertical walls subject to extremely high loads, or where the architectural requirements demand a special finish to the exposed wall face. The development of innovative solutions for support works is one of Maccaferri's main research areas for new products.

Maccaferri's aim with the creation of MacRes was to complete the range of products offered in this sector. Installation instructions are provided with the construction components for the MacRes system (concrete facing, soil reinforcement, joints) which, together with a preliminary design based on the characteristics of the foundation soil, give the finished works:
• High load-bearing capacity
• Durability
• Overall cost effectiveness for implementation over a large area due to its simplicity and speed of installation.
• Flexibility to meet layout requirements
• Ease of insertion into various architectural contexts (different types of finish).

It has been possible to achieve this result by combining the geotechnical skills, structural engineering know-how and knowledge on materials which has been acquired by Maccaferri over the years.
