Ground stabilisation
Tensar geogrids provide a high performance solution for stabilizing weak or variable ground for roads, car parks, airfields, container ports, airfields and hard standings for truck parks, also meeting economic and environmental constraints.

Reinforced steep slopes
Soil slopes reinforced with Tensar geogrids offer a fast, economical and versatile technique for constructing embankments or repairing slope failures when a steep face angle is required, at any angle up to vertical, and with a natural green finish.

Retaining walls and bridge abutments
Tensar Wall Systems comprise a soil mass reinforced with Tensar RE geogrids and finished with facing units selected to meet the aesthetic and economic needs of the project. Construction is rapid and can offer significant savings over conventional techniques; Tensar Wall Systems< are fully approved and certificated by independent industry bodies.

Construction over weak ground
Tensar geogrid solutions avoid expensive and time consuming excavation and replacement of soft soils under embankments, can span voids or aid controlled settlement. When used for Load Transfer Platform solutions, geogrids provide an effective means of transferring construction loads on to piles; construction is rapid and economical, and access to site is also enhanced.

Rail track ballast
Tensar bi-axial geogrids provide an extremely cost-effective solution for the reinforcement of ballast over a soft subgrade, either directly to reduce settlement, or by reinforcing the sub-base to increase the load bearing capacity. These applications of Tensar geogrids are supported by independent research with German and British railway authorities.

Asphalt pavements
Tensar asphalt reinforcement technology has been established for over twenty years. Tensar products are proven to increase pavement life by delaying the onset of failure caused by low subgrade strength, high axle loadings or reflective cracking.

Tensar Mats can provide an extra permanent erosion protection layer where needed to enhance the resistance of the vegetation. It actively assists vegetation to establish itself and protects the root system against currents and waves from flooding and tidal action.

Controlling erosion on rock slopes
Tensar grids can be draped over the rock face and secured with rock anchors to control loose rock fragments and remove the hazards from fracturing and spalling.
