Abstract: High embankments and large cut slopes are frequently encountered in the railway construction in the mountain areas. Especially, for locations such as platform for stations, where the bridge and tunnel structures are not feasible, fill embankments are frequently used and retaining walls will be required. In the retaining all structure design, in addition to the stability, the drainage, river bank protection, potential scour, and it impact on the retaining structures should be considered. Finally, the compatible with the adjacent environment is also an important factor. The pile supported gabion faced MSE walls can meet these requirements.

Key words: Mechanically Stabilized Earth with Pile Supported Gabion Wall Face, Rigid and Flexible Walls, Platform Design
