Earth Retaining Walls and Reinforced Slopes
Engineers who need to maximise the area of development but are faced with difficult and varied terrain can choose from a wide range of earth retaining options – reinforced concrete, gabions, crib walls, sheet piling and structural brickwork, and more. Increasingly, though, many are turning to Tensar technology for a tailored solution which can meet aesthetic, budget and environmental needs.
How your project can benefit
As a simple, modular system using carefully integrated components, Tensar reinforced soil structures offer a number of advantages over traditional reinforced concrete:
- Up to 75% cost savings
- Rapid construction, cutting times by up to half
- A choice of face angles from 20˚ to 90˚, architectural and natural finishes and design options for easily-built curves and terraces
- Internationally-certified
- Up to 120-year design life
- Indemnified designs
- Most systems need neither crane lifts nor temporary propping
- Environmental advantages can include the use of site-won or waste fill materials and significantly reduced construction carbon emissions
