Product catalog summary
Design Service and Software
Tensar offers a comprehensive design service with over 25 years of experience in reinforced soil design software. This includes feasibility studies, cost planning, and certified detailed designs, all covered by Professional Indemnity insurance.
Construction and System Features
The TensarTech™ TW1 Wall System is designed for easy construction without specialized skills or equipment. It uses pre-cast concrete modular facing blocks and Tensar geogrids, creating durable, maintenance-free retaining walls with a lifespan of up to 120 years.
Product Specifications and Approvals
The system and its components, including Tensar Re geogrids, are certified by the British Board of Agrément (BBA) for use in highways and bridge abutments.
Cost Effectiveness and Versatility
The system offers up to 50% cost savings compared to conventional methods and reduces construction time. It is versatile, accommodating various architectural designs and using site-won or recycled materials.
Technical Advantages
The system provides high resistance to earthquake loading, greater tolerance of differential settlement, and low bearing pressure, potentially avoiding expensive foundation treatments. The high pH of concrete blocks does not affect the durability of HDPE geogrid reinforcement.
Additional Resources
Tensar offers literature, including product specifications, installation guides, and detailed information on geosynthetics applications in civil engineering.
