Design Engineers need to make choices when faced with difficult and variable site terrain where it is
necessary to maximise the area suitable for development. Where retaining structures need to be constructed
the options available are varied, including reinforced concrete, mass concrete, gabions,
crib walls, sheet piling and structural brickwork
Our TensarTech® Earth Retaining Systems for Walls and Slopes offer you
a range of reinforced soil structures with a choice of faces to suit you design code, budget, environmental constraints
and aesthetic requirements. They are designed as 'true systems' using carefully integrated
components for superior structural integrity.
ECONOMIAL
- TensarTech Wall System can save uo to 50% on traditional reinforced concrete structures
- TensarTech Slope System can save up to 75% on traditional reinforced concrete structures
- Rapid to construct TensarTech Systems can cut construction times by half
- Use of site-won materials can reduce costly imported fill and outlay on both aggregate and landfill charges
- Often no specialist skills are required for construction
FLEXIBLE AND ATTRACTIVE
- Varying face angles possible from 20∘ to 90∘
- Numerous architectural finishes available to conform with project specific requirements
- Attractive longitudinal curve and terraces easily achievable without special components
RELIABLE
- TensarTech Systems are internationally certified for independently assessed performance
- Thousands of structures successfully completed throughout the world
- TensarTech Systems feature unique high strength connection to the geogrid reinforcement
- TensarTech Systems require little or no maintenance and may be designed for a 120 year design life
- The systems can be designed to accommodate extreme dynamic loading and seismic conditions
ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND
- Delivers significant reductions in construction carbon emissions compared with traditional concrete structures
- Potential to use site-won fill or reclaimed fill materials
- Site-won material used as reinforced fill can avoid fill importation and off-site tipping whilst reducing the inherent pollution associated with transportation
- Vegetated slopes enhance aesthetic appeal and blend with natural surroundings
