MINNEAPOLIS (May 17, 2018) – The Maryland State Highway Administration (MSHA) recently issued approval of the Keystone® KeySystem II™ retaining wall system, using Keystone Compac® II or III and TenCate Miragrid® reinforcement for use on state highway projects for walls up to 50 feet high.
KeySystem™ II is designed to the highest standards and unique requirements of the transportation sector.
