Weathering and freeze-thaw action can often lead to fracturing and spalling on rock slopes, creating the hazard of falling rock fragments and ongoing erosion. These falls are particularly dangerous when close to public areas. TENSAR BIAXIAL GRIDS - THE LONG-TERM SOLUTION Tensar geogrids can be draped over the face and secured with rock anchors to act as a cladding to control loose rock fragments and remove the hazard of bouncing projectiles. This can allow topsoil and scree to be retained and facilitates the subsequent development of vegetation which in turn improves stability of the surface. The fixing details including the length and spacing of bolts is site specific and primarily governed by the nature of the rock, slope geometry and the purpose of the protection. Adjacent geogrid rolls are overlapped and stitched with a high density polyethylene (HDPE) braid to form secure vertical joints. Typical installation details are available on request. Controlling erosion on rock slopes Tensar geogrids - the benefits Cost-effective solution High impact resistance Easy to install, wide, lightweight rolls Non-corrodible, durable High resistance to weathering High resistance to ultra-violet light Aids establishment of vegetation Environmentally safe Chalk highway cutting immediately after Tensar installation Chalk highway cutting showing vegetation taking hold. The grid controls the fall of rock fragments. Tensar rolls are wide and light, aiding installation. Protecting a railway cutting.
