To meet these requirements, Maccaferri’s MacWall system was selected for the retaining walls due to its structural versatility and aesthetic adaptability. MacBlock segmental concrete blocks were used, offering durability and customization to replicate the limestone appearance of the Giza Pyramids. These blocks, with consistent dimensions of 20 x 30 x 40 cm, allowed the construction of straight or curved walls, accommodating the project’s architectural vision.

The MacWall system included MacGrid WG geogrid soil reinforcement to ensure long-term stability. Openings in the MacBlock units enabled secure mechanical connections with the geogrid layers using L-shaped pins, enhancing the structural integrity of high retaining walls.

This combination of technical and aesthetic solutions provided a seamless integration with the project’s modern yet heritage-inspired design. Maccaferri’s local agent, Strata Soil Systems, was instrumental in delivering design, material supply, and construction assistance, ensuring the retaining walls met the project’s structural demands and architectural aspirations. The MacWall system successfully addressed the project’s challenges, delivering a robust and visually cohesive solution.
