Slip repairs

Geogrids are used extensively for slip repairs, particularly with clay soils

Slip Repairs

Slip failures in natural or man-made slopes can be repaired by excavating and re-using the failed soil reinforced with Tensar geogrids. This method is more cost-effective and less time consuming than disposing of the failed soil and replacing it with imported fill.

The technique can be used equally for failed embankment slopes or for failures in cut slopes

Benefits

• minimises disposal of on-site fill and soils
• reduces haulage costs
• cuts costs compared to traditional methods by up to 75%
• reduces traffic disruption and lane closures
