Earth Retaining Walls and Reinforced Slopes
Engineers who need to maximise the area of development for earth retaining walls and structures but are faced with difficult and varied terrain can choose from a wide range of 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
