Retaining walls

The installation of high-strength TenCate geosynthetics in layers considerably increases the stability of earth structures and controls the deformation. Geosynthetic reinforced retaining walls allow a variety of facing options including treated timbers, segmental concrete blocks, wrap-around and vegetated facings, gabions, pre-fabricated concrete elements, wire baskets and natural stone to provide superior aesthetics versus conventional cast-in-place concrete walls.

In case of critical deformation restrictions or in applications where survey is required, TenCate Polyfelt Geodetect can be installed in order to monitor the reinforced structure. Geodetect measures and follows the strain in soil and enables transmission of a warning signal as soon as its elongation reaches a preset limit.

Vegetated steep slopes

The installation of high-strength TenCate geosynthetics in layers considerably increases the stability of earth structures and controls the deformation.
The inclusion of TenCate geosynthetics enable the use of locally available, often poor quality soil. To combine both engineering and landscaping aspects TenCate offers systems for vegetated steep slopes.
