The Tensar® Wrap Around Facing (WAF) geogrid reinforced soil wall system offered an optimal and adaptable solution for complex wall geometries, seamlessly integrating vegetation, utility corridors, and the client envisaged natural boulder finish. This ensured compliance with both engineering and architectural requirements. The system’s rapid, staged construction significantly reduced material usage, accelerated delivery, and minimised carbon footprint, providing clear advantages over traditional retaining structures.
- Flexible reinforced soil system accommodating varying wall alignments
- Faster construction using layered reinforced soil and sequential trades,minimizing programme delays
- Cost‑effective solution with lower material, labour, and foundation requirements.
- Lower embodied carbon footprint compared to conventional RC wall alternatives.
