Significant saving in granular thickness.
Ground StabilisationTHE TENSAR SOLUTION
There are now unprecedented demands to design
economic and environmentally sensitive roads, container
ports, car parks, airfields and hardstandings sited over
weak or variable ground. Tensar geogrids give a high
performance solution which also meets economic and
environmental constraints.
The structural contribution made by Tensar geogrids is to
reinforce the unbound layers of roads and trafficked
areas. When granular material is compacted over the
geogrid it partially penetrates and projects through the
apertures to create a strong and positive interlock. The
high tensile stiffness of Tensar geogrids allows load to be
developed at very low strains.
Independent trials have confirmed that it is the shape
and form of the ribs and junctions of Tensar geogrids,
which determine the structural performance of
pavements - unique characteristics and superiority.
Since 1980, several hundred million square metres of
Tensar geogrids have been successfully incorporated into
a wide range of sites under diverse working and climatic
conditions.

THE BENEFITS
Tensar multi-layer reinforcement combines major cost
savings with considerable performance benefits.
It combines all the benefits realised in reinforcing
granular capping and sub-base layers:
� Savings in granular thickness of up to 40%
� Reduced disturbance and weakening of sensitive subgrade formations
� Improved fill compaction
� Reduction of excavated soil together with conservation of natural aggregates
� Increased design life and in addition multi-layer reinforcement can:- Reduce differential settlement- Support extraordinarily heavy loads
THE TENSAR SOLUTION
Excavation and replacement with an imported fill, or
expensive ground treatment methods such as piling, can
be avoided when building over weak and variable
subgrades by incorporating layers of Tensar geogrid
within the granular layer.
Multi-layer systems are possible as a direct result of the
unique interlocking action achieved between the
aggregate and Tensar geogrids. The resulting composite
creates a stiff platform. The system can also
accommodate high dynamic and static loads such as
those experienced at container ports.
Differential settlement can be controlled by the flexural
stiffness of the platform and also its ability to span
depressions and voids.
Tensar’s design methods and pavement engineering
experience combine to provide whole life cost savings.

Mechanical ballast cleaning (Germany).
Railway Track Ballast
THE TENSAR SOLUTION
Railway track that overlies a soft subgrade will always
experience relatively rapid and permanent settlement.
This, in turn, leads to the need for expensive, disruptive
and frequent maintenance. The railway industry needs
ways to reinforce track ballast simply and economically.
Independent, full-scale research has shown that Tensar
reinforced ballast over poor formation achieves stiffness
levels similar to unreinforced ballast over firm
foundations.
TENSAR GEOGRIDS:
� Interlock with ballast to provide an effectivereinforced composite foundation over peat andsoft alluvial soils
� Restrict lateral movements within the ballast tominimise migration of fines
� Are certified by Network Rail - the UK’s nationalrailways authority - and other European railwayauthorities
There are two distinct uses of Tensar geogrids in railway
engineering - either control of lateral displacement of the
ballast or bearing capacity improvement over weak
ground by reinforcement of the sub-base.

significant advantages.
� Reduces maintenance frequency
� Reduces elastic deflections
� Offers an alternative to increasing depth ofballast or using chemical stabilisation
� Reduces the rate of permanent settlement
� Avoids excavation and replacement with thicklayers of imported fill

Asphalt Pavements
THE TENSAR SOLUTION
Asphalt pavements, subjected to heavy or sustained
loadings, will benefit from reinforcement. So too will
those with cracked lean mix roadbase and concrete
pavements with asphalt overlays. Products are needed to
extend overlay life, reduce maintenance costs and asphalt
thickness, control fatigue and reflective cracking, and
reduce rutting on roads and airfields.
Tensar International has a wide range of grids and
composites with an extensive track record for improving
the life and performance of asphalt pavements.
THE BENEFITS
Tensar International asphalt reinforcement products help
to reduce maintenance costs and are suitable for all
types of asphalt mixes.
� Reduction of asphalt thickness of up to 40%
� Significantly retards reflective cracking
� Reduces rutting by up to 70%
� Increases pavement life
� Easy to install
� Composites also seal the substrate from wateringress, extending pavement life

The Geocell is rapidly assembled on-site.
Geocell construction at a landfill (Germany).
THE TENSAR SOLUTION
When faced with building embankments over soft
ground, it may not be economical or environmentally
viable to excavate and dispose of the poor soil and
replace it with granular fill. In such cases, Tensar
International can help with the best option from a range
of possible techniques. Whatever the particular
circumstances and problems, we can provide advanced,
cost-effective and proven solutions.
When stability rather than settlement is the problem, the
use of Tensar geogrids will allow initial access over a soft
formation and permit embankment construction to take
place in a controlled and safe manner.
The use of Tensar Basetex geotextiles can avoid staged
construction delays and, if vertical drains are used, will
allow greater surcharges to be applied safely to the weak
foundation. Basetex can also be used as a tensioned
membrane between piles.
Tensar geogrids and Basetex geotextiles can be placed as
a single layer, or as multi-layer reinforcement, at the base
of the embankment to intersect potential failure surfaces
extending into the foundation.
When there is a danger of collapse into underlying voids
a reinforced layer may be constructed by using either
Tensar biaxial geogrids with granular fill to form a
stiffened raft, or Tensar Basetex, as a tensioned
membrane, to span over voids.
Either approach may be used to generate a design to
provide permanent support to embankments and bunds.
When the need is to reduce differential settlement
or maximise the bearing capacity from a relatively
thin soft formation, a Tensar Geocell mattress
provides the base strengthening.
The Tensar Geocell is a 1m deep, open top, continuous
cellular structure formed from geogrids and strong
connectors. It is placed on the subsoil and filled with
granular material. This creates a stiff foundation for the
embankment as well as safely allowing initial
construction access over the soft site.
Use of the Tensar Geocell results in rapid construction
with no need for excavation and removal of subsoil.
THE BENEFITS
Tensar International has a range of proven and
economical solutions for construction over soft or
variable ground that:
� Allow rapid construction
� Allow safe access for operatives and machinery
� Avoid excavation and replacement
� Reduce loss of fill into weak foundations
� Enable safe spanning of voids

Tensar LTP

Foundations over PilesTHE TENSAR SOLUTION
Project programme constraints can mean that there is
insufficient time to allow for consolidation settlement to
occur after placing embankment fill over soft
compressible soils. In this situation, a deep foundation
solution may be the only way to resolve such a problem.
The Load Transfer Platform (LTP) can distribute
embankment load efficiently onto a series of piles or
vibro concrete columns (VCCs) which bear on firmer
strata below. This avoids the cost of using a concrete
raft, ground beams or separate pile caps. Usually the
most economic solution is to form the LTP from good
quality granular fill reinforced with multiple layers of
Tensar biaxial grids. An alternative design using Tensar
Basetex can be employed to accommodate poorer quality
fill. Tensar LTPs have also been successfully used below
concrete ground floor slabs in order to avoid designing
the slabs to span between piles.

THE BENEFITS
When settlement restrictions dictate that a deep
foundation solution is required to support an
embankment or ground-bearing slab, an LTP:
� Avoids the need for concrete rafts, pile caps orground beams
� Means simple and rapid construction
� Is a proven, reliable solution
� Can be used under ground-bearing slabs toprovide a uniform quality of support

Standard embankment cross section for slip repair.
Standard embankment cross section for shallow slopes.
Slopes up to 45°THE TENSAR SOLUTION
New construction
In order to save both time and money it is often
necessary to reinforce slopes to enable them to stand at
a steeper angle than normal. Utilising poorer quality fills
is also possible. Doing this could also assist a project
through planning control and significantly minimise the
impact on the environment by creating soft structures
with minimum landtake.
A structural facing is not normally necessary for Tensar
reinforced slopes of 45° and flatter. For erosion
protection, Tensar Mat (a three-dimensional non-
biodegradable matting) may be installed with the top
soiling operation. The mat will no longer be visible once
vegetation is established.
Slip repairs
Failures of natural or man-made slopes are a common
problem, especially in cohesive soils or in areas of high
rainfall. Such failures can be repaired by excavating and
re-using the failed soil and reinforcing this with layers of
Tensar geogrids.
THE BENEFITS
Tensar Geogrids allow the use of relatively poor quality
fill in slope construction for major financial,
environmental and construction benefits.
NEW CONSTRUCTION
� Minimises land use
� Restricts encroachment into environmentally
sensitive areas
� Reduces the amount of fill required
� Permits the use of locally available soils
� Simple and rapid construction
� Allows heavy plant to operate close to the
slope edge for uniform good compaction
SLIP REPAIRS
In addition to the New Construction benefits:
� Minimises off-site haulage
� Costs as low as 25% of traditional methods
� Can reduce traffic disruption and lane closure

Slopes Steeper than 45°THE TENSAR SOLUTION
Tensar geogrids allow the construction of slope gradients
up to 90°.
Choosing a suitable soft facing for slopes can depend
upon a number of elements, namely the desired finish,
the constraints and circumstances of the local
environment and, perhaps more importantly, the angle
of the slope. Tensar International offers a range of
construction techniques - the most popular use either
grid wraparound or steel mesh panels (SMP) at the face.
With a Tensar wraparound finish the facing element may
be formed from the Tensar geogrid by extending the
length, wrapping it around the face and subsequently
anchoring it back into the fill. An internal bagwork
support or temporary external support is required for the
wraparound face details to control alignment and to
provide the restraint necessary for good fill compaction.
SMP facing can be used instead of the wraparound. This
can be secured to the horizontal grids in such a way that
no temporary internal or external support is required. In
general, facing elements have a temporary internal lining
to retain topsoil/fill and promote vegetation.

Modular Block Retaining Wall Systems
THE TENSAR SOLUTION
Modular block concrete facing units offer yet another
way to use the reinforced soil technique to form cost-
effective retaining structures and bridge abutments.
Modular block retaining wall systems have developed
very rapidly over the last ten years, and are becoming the
first choice solution in many situations.
The modular blocks are manufactured from high quality
concrete in block making machines, and are available in
a range of colours, styles and finishes. Some of the
systems are designed to allow a facia of masonry or
brickwork to be tied to the structure for architectural
effect.
The modular block provides a hard concrete finish to a
retaining structure, which may be preferred in many
situations. However, the wide choice of available finishes
adds interest and softens the look of the completed
structure.

Controlling Erosion - Soil and Rock Slopes
SOIL SLOPES - THE TENSAR SOLUTION
Natural vegetation provides excellent erosion protection,
however, extra erosion control measures are needed on
steep slopes such as reinforced embankments or soil-
nailed cuttings.
Areas prone to intermittent water inundation, wave run-
up or occasional high velocity flows, such as river banks,
shorelines, ditches, flood bunds and dam spillways, can
also suffer from soil erosion. In these cases, an additional
permanent erosion protection material is needed to
enhance the resistance of the vegetation, but one which
ultimately becomes visually unobtrusive.
The Tensar Mat range is used to control surface erosion
and consists of flexible three-dimensional non-
biodegradable matting installed with the top soiling
operation. Tensar Mat initially stabilises the surface until
vegetation becomes established and then goes on to
provide long-term reinforcement of the root system.
THE BENEFITS
Tensar Mat provides an economical, long-term solution
for permanent erosion protection on soil slopes.
� Less expensive than most hard and inert slope
treatments
� Environmentally appealing
� Long-term solution
� Easy to install
ROCK SLOPES - THE TENSAR SOLUTION
Weathering and freeze-thaw action can often lead to
spalling on rock slopes, creating the hazard of falling
rock fragments. This is particularly dangerous when close
to public areas.
Tensar biaxial grids can be secured to the face to control
loose rock fragments and reduce further rock slope
erosion.
THE BENEFITS
Tensar geogrids provide a high-performance and economical
solution for the control of erosion on rock faces.
� Durable geogrid with high impact resistance
� Easy to install, wide, lightweight rolls
� Non-corrodible
� High resistance to weathering
