Tensar retaining walls and green slopes

New design opportunities for architects and landscapers with Tensar retaining walls and green slopes.

Green slopes, grassy embankments and masonry or subtly coloured exposed aggregate concrete clad retaining walls are desirable and environmentally attractive landscape features whether for urban or more rural developments.

Freedom to create these visual elements while ensuring their structural and economic viability is demonstrated in Tensar Structural Solutions new architects' brochure for retaining walls and green slopes.

These apply to a range of applications ranging from housing, commercial, leisure schemes and external works to major prestigious buildings By using Tensar's 25 years of geogrid technology experience, a wide variety of cost-effective, low environmental-impact designs with demanding changes in ground level can be realised.

The possibilities range from steep slopes, embankments and bunds to vertical faces, whether grassed and vegetated slopes or as walls faced with stone or other appropriate cladding.

The brochure shows many different applications of both the British Board of Agrement certificated retaining walls, and of green slopes and banks, all constructed on soils stabilised with Tensar geogrids.

For these, Tensar engineers provide specifiers with consultation, design and construction support based on fully independently certificated design and engineering techniques.

The results combine proven long term structural reliability with a range of highly attractive finishes.

These can be specified to meet aesthetic and planning requirements, such as walls to match or complement local construction, natural vegetated 'soft' solutions or landscaped combinations of plantings and terracing.
