Client's Challenge

The client required a retaining wall to create space for a new lounge building and the original plan was to use a standard timber crib system.

Tensar Solution


The installer identified the environmental and durability benefits of using TensarTech® EcoCrib™ and this Tensar solution was selected. By specifying the TensarTech EcoCrib System, engineers gain a crib wall facing which provides an aesthetically pleasing alternative to a timber finish, whilst stability of the structure is provided by the geogrid reinforced soil mass.
