The Tensartech NaturalGreen Earth Retaining System is used for building soil structures with a slope face up to 45 degrees. The system consists of Tensar geogrids, which reinforce the soil mass providing long-term structural stability, and a high quality composite erosion protection material at the face to establish vegetation and stabilise the root system. The established vegetative cover provides long-term stability to the slope face.

Tensar RE500 Series Uniaxial Geogrid


The Tensartech GreenSlope Earth Retaining System is used for building soil structures with a slope face up to the angle of 70 degrees. The stability of the structure is provided by the geogrid reinforced soil mass with durable steel units positively connected at the face using Tensar’s high efficiency bodkin connection. The facing units are lined during installation with a selected biodegradable erosion mat, which will help establish the chosen vegetative cover to the slope whether that be suitable ground cover, climbing plants or simply grass.
