TensarTech GreenSlope
A low-cost, attractive system for slopes up to 70˚
Combining an attractive, completely natural look with savings of up to 75% over conventional earth-retaining methods, TensarTech GreenSlope offers an ideal solution for steep slopes and embankments up to 70º, particularly in environmentally-sensitive areas. For slope angles less than 45º the TensarTech NaturalGreen system is recommended.
Horizontal layers of Tensar’s uniaxial geogrids create a stable, reinforced soil mass, with durable steel units positively linked at the face using a high efficiency bodkin connection. This facing is lined during installation with an erosion mat that helps to retain a thin topsoil veneer and establish the vegetation cover, with a choice of continuous slope or terraced face structure to allow irrigation. Self colour steel facings are generally employed for 60 year design life; galvanised facings are available for 120 year design life. Construction is straightforward, as demonstrated in our animation here.
TensarTech GreenSlope also makes it simple to find the complete solution from one source thanks to our team of experienced engineers. Using our sophisticated TensarSoil software, they can provide everything from free application suggestions to a full design and supply service including Professional Indemnity cover.
