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.
