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.
