Crossrail, Woolwich

A Tensar-designed working platform, incorporating TriAx geogrid, delivered significant time and cost savings on construction of a tunnel portal on London’s Crossrail project.

Three UK working platforms

A mechanically stabilised layer incorporating Tensar TriAx® geogrids construction of thinner working platforms on three sites in the Midlands for Seddon Construction.

Soldiers Road

Tensar TX160 is helping to repair roads damaged by storms and floods in towns along North Queensland’s coast.

NATO Road, Lithuania

Tensar TriAx geogrids were incorporated into the new road’s subbase and crushed dolomite surface to provide support to the very heavy military traffic using the road.

Tartu Airport, Estonia

A mechanically-stabilised layer using TriAx provided a strong foundation for a runway extension at Tartu Airport.

Central Car Auctions

A TensarTech® Rockwall™ system delivered a cost- effective retaining wall solution to support a car park extension, maximising the usable space.

Rockwall Protection Bund, Norway

A TensarTech GreenSlope reinforced soil system was a fast and cost-effective solution for a 500m long bund built to protect homes from the risk of rockfall.

Beverley Sewage Treatment Works

Using Tensar’s T-Value Method, meant a large working platform could be 350mm thinner, reducing construction time, costs and environmental impact.

Bermondsey Dive Under

Tensar- designed a working platform incorporating TriAx were key to he success of foundation works alongside a railway viaduct in south east London.

Crossrail, Woolwich

A Tensar-designed working platform, incorporating TriAx geogrid, delivered significant time and cost savings on construction of a tunnel portal on London’s Crossrail project.

Three UK working platforms

A mechanically stabilised layer incorporating Tensar TriAx® geogrids construction of thinner working platforms on three sites in the Midlands and north West England for Seddon Construction.

Featherbed Lane Bridge

Manchester Airport

Tensar’s TensarTech TR2 reinforced soil wall system was the ideal solution for a temporary raised platform, allowing the safe installation of piles for a new bridge on the Manchester Airport Relief Road Scheme.

Great Yorkshire Way

Incorporating TriAx in the road subgrade delivered a thinner, and better performing, pavement for a major new road in Yorkshire.

A556 Improvement scheme

Using geogrid to mechanically stabilise founding aggregate layers saved an estimated £2m on the A556 improvement scheme.

Dock Gate 5 - Southampton

Tensar’s Spectra pavement optimisation solution proved its flexibility when ground conditions were found to be different from predicted.

Crewe Green Link Road

Track ballast mechanically-stabilised with Tensar TriAx geogrid mitigated the risk of differential settlement within the track in the transition between a new railway bridge and an embankment.

Curtici-Simeria Frontier railway

Tensar geogrids played a key role in upgrading the Frontieră-Curtici-Simeria railway in Romania, enabling it to carry trains running at 160km/h, as part of the Pan-European Railway Corridor Line IV project.

Steamranger

Tensar’s TriAx geogrid played a key role in an innovative approach to replacing a level crossing on an historic railway in South Australia.

Glasstex delivered stronger, safer and more reliable running lanes for the M3 Smart Motorways project.

Dai Nam Park

A Tensar asphalt reinforcement interlayer provided a high-performing surface for a new motorcycle race circuit at Dai Nam Park in Vietnam.

Glenchamber Wind Farm

TriAx® ensured access roads were built in time for the arrival of turbines for a wind farm in Dumfries and Galloway.

Whitelee Wind Farm

Tensar TriAx geogrids not only enabled access roads and working platforms for a new wind farm to be built over a peat bog, but also resulted in a significant reduction in aggregate use.

Svartnas Wind Farm, Sweden

TriAx geogrid was incorporated into the aggregate used for the wind farm access roads and working platforms.
