Retaining Structure

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.

ECONOMICAL

TensarTech Wall System can save up to 50% on traditional reinforced concrete structures
