Product catalog summary
Introduction to TensarTech® EcoCrib™
TensarTech® EcoCrib™ is a system designed for constructing reinforced soil walls with a 4:1 or 84° face angle. The crib facing is made from 100% recycled UK waste mixed polymer, ensuring sustainability and recyclability. The system uses Tensar uniaxial geogrids connected to the crib facing with a high-efficiency polymer bodkin for stability.

Advantages
  • UV-resistant EcoCrib™ facing available in various colors, typically brown.
  • Durable and aesthetically pleasing, resembling timber without its drawbacks.
  • Design life of up to 120 years.
  • Class 3 fire resistance, harder to ignite than wood.

System Information
The system is part of a Design and Supply package, including EcoCrib facing, geogrids, and bodkins. It offers construction drawings and on-site advice but does not include installation services. A list of installers is available.

Technical Data
  • HAPAS BBA Certificate 12/H194 with design lives up to 120 years.
  • Compatible with various granular fill types, including DOT Class 6I/6J.
  • Secure connection between EcoCrib unit and geogrid reinforcement.

Case Study: Persimmon Homes, Mellings Farm, Winstanley
The project required maximizing land use for house gardens near a site boundary with a height change of up to 5m. TensarTech® EcoCrib™ was chosen for its rapid construction and minimal foundation requirements. A total of 131m² was installed with a maximum retained height of 5m over a 25m length, using locally available fill and standard construction plant.

TensarTech® EcoCrib™-1

TensarTech® EcoCrib™ Earth Retaining System for Walls THE CHALLENGE By specifying the TensarTech® EcoCrib™ System, engineers gain a crib wall facing which provides an aesthetically pleasing alternative to a timber or concrete finish whilst stability of the structure is provided by the geogrid reinforced soil mass. This is just one of several facing options engineers have when specifying TensarTech Earth Retaining Systems. INTRODUCING TENSARTECH® ECOCRIB™ TensarTech® EcoCrib™ is designed for the construction of reinforced soil walls with a 4:1 or 84° face angle. The crib facing is manufactured from 100% UK waste mixed polymer which is 100% recycled and 100% recyclable. Tensar uniaxial geogrids are connected to the crib facing using Tensar’s unique high efficiency polymer bodkin to ensure that a positive connection is maintained between facing and geogrid reinforcement. The EcoCrib™ facing offers an aesthetically pleasing and durable facing that blends into the natural surroundings. THE ADVANTAGES OF TENSARTECH® ECOCRIB™ • The EcoCrib™ facing is fully resistant to ultraviolet light. • Standard EcoCrib units can be supplied in various colours (normally brown). • The EcoCrib facing offers a pleasing appearance similar to timber but with none of the shortcomings of timber i.e. will not rot or be affected by water or fungus infestation. • Reassurance of a highly durable HDPE Tensar geogrid and bodkin. • Design lives up to 120 years can be catered for. TENSARTECH® ECOCRIB™ SYSTEM INFORMATION The TensarTech® EcoCrib™ System supplied as part of a Design and Supply package that includes EcoCrib facing, Tensar uniaxial geogrids and Tensar bodkins can when requested include an indemnified design that includes construction drawings and construction advice on-site via our UK civil engineering team. Although Tensar does not offer installation services, we can supply a list of installers who work countrywide on Tensar projects. Tensar bodkin connectors offer high efficiency connection between
