- In detail
- Soils are good in compression and poor in tension
- Geogrid reinforcement is good in tension and poor in compression.
A composite of these materials offers the benefits of both; Geogrid reinforcement, used in conjunction with the soil enable that soil to perform better than it would in its unreinforced state, accommodating greater loads or standing at steeper angles for example.
With our specialist knowledge and comprehensive product range, Maccaferri can offer cost-effective solutions to your slope reinforcement problem, whether on a steep, shallow or soil nailed slope.
Our unsurpassed range of geogrid reinforcements maximises the opportunity to reuse site won materials as backfill to a reinforced slope. This saves on the export and import of materials from site, embracing sustainability and reducing polluting truck movements. Cost savings through the reuse of site won material with geogrids can be substantial on a project.
Vegetation of the finished reinforced slope is important. Our soil bioengineering expertise can assist in the selection of appropriate seed mixes, topsoil and erosion protection products.
Our reinforced slopes are trusted to support motorways, railway embankments and property around the UK and Ireland. Try us on your next project.
