Naturally vegetated, steep-slope earth retaining system – designed and supplied from a single reliable source
Creates stable steepened slopes up to 70° batter
Rapid and economic construction
A wide range of embankment fill materials can be used; cohesive soils, recycled materials and site-won fill.
When space allows, steep vegetated slopes offer an attractive and lower cost option than vertical earth retaining walls. The TensarTech GreenSlope System is used for construction of stable soil embankments with a slope face angle up to 70°. Cost savings of up to 70% can be achieved, compared to a conventional concrete retaining wall.
The stability of the TensarTech GreenSlope structure is provided by reinforcing the embankment with Tensar uniaxial geogrids placed horizontally within the fill. The slope face is supported by durable steel mesh units positively secured to the geogrid reinforcement using Tensar’s high strength bodkin connection. The facing units are lined during installation with an appropriate erosion mat, to help establish the chosen vegetative cover to the slope face.
The components of the TensarTech GreenSlope system have been specifically designed to work together for optimum efficiency and performance. High quality welded mesh panels, polymer bodkins for high strength connection, face liner and Tensar uniaxial geogrids work together to form a reinforced soil slope system that meets or exceeds the industry standard. Tensar’s experienced engineers, using our sophisticated TensarSoil software, can provide everything from free application suggestions to a full design and supply service.
