Product catalog summary
Overview: The TensarTech TW1 Wall System is an earth retaining system that combines pre-cast concrete modular facing blocks with Tensar geogrids to reinforce the soil mass behind. This system is known for its strong and durable retaining wall structures that require no maintenance.
Specifications: The system uses factory-produced concrete blocks and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) geogrid reinforcement, providing a design life of up to 120 years. The blocks allow for the creation of curves, corners, and other features without affecting the durability of the geogrid reinforcement.
Procedures: The construction process involves dry laying the concrete blocks without mortar. The system is designed for rapid and economical construction, often requiring no specialist skills or equipment.
Standards and Approvals: Tensar geogrids have received HAPAS approval, allowing their use in highway structures and bridge abutments with a 120-year design life. The BBA certificates confirm the geogrids' suitability for their intended use.
Advantages: The TensarTech TW1 Wall System offers cost savings of up to 50% compared to traditional methods like reinforced concrete. It is adaptable, aesthetically versatile, and can use site-won or recycled materials. The system also provides high resistance to earthquake loading and low bearing pressure, potentially avoiding expensive foundation treatments.
Applications: The system is suitable for retaining walls and bridge abutments, with proven success in various geotechnical and climatic conditions worldwide. It is also used in pavement optimization and subgrade stabilization.
Design and Support: Tensar offers a design service to assist with project planning, providing certified detailed design and construction drawings. The company has over 30 years of experience in geogrid technology and reinforced soil solutions.
