Modular green retaining wall on reinforced soil Tensar International
Reinforced soil slopes offer a fast, economical and versatile technique for constructing new embankments or repairing failures to existing slope structures. In fact, Tensartech slopes may be built at up to an angle of 70° beyond and Tensartech NaturalGreen are for structures built to 45°.
For GreenSlope structures beyond and up to Tensartech NaturalGreen 70° the system of choice is Tensartech GreenSlope.
Environmental constraints and rising land costs have increased the need for value engineering, frequently requiring the engineer to make use of cohesive or contaminated soils as fill materials. Both NaturalGreen and GreenSlope can take advantage of this by allowing the engineer to use these site won materials in the design.
Reinforced soil slopes provide an economic solution and give engineers the confidence to create structures with a natural vegetated finish.
Some of the benefits of Tensartech Slopes Systems are:
-Minimises land use
-Restricts encroachment into environmentally sensitive areas
-Reduces the amount of fill required for conventional slope angles
-May allow the use of site-won soils
-Simple and rapid construction
-Cost-effective alternative to conventional concrete retaining walls
-Vegetated face is a softer alternative to hard face retaining walls in sensitive areas
Systems include:
