TENAX RIVEL
Geogrid reinforced soil slope
The reinforcing element provided by the TENAX RIVEL geogrid reinforced soil slope System is composed of a TENAX TT series monoriented HDPE geogrid (1) and on the face by a non structural guiding and supporting "left in place" formwork (2), produced by bending to the slope angle a sheet of welded wire mesh (150 x 150 mm mesh or also 200x200 mm, Ø 8 mm).
The formwork is supplied with hooked tie rods that guarantee the geometric stability of the formwork itself during the soil compaction phase.
The use of the "left in place" formwork provides a rapid rate of installation and more accurate project construction and finished face.
A vegetative biomat (3) is placed on the inner face to protect the face against the erosion and create an adequate surface for the eventual hydro-seeding or sowing of suitable grasses.
