TensarTech RockWall is a rock cage retaining wall system for many earth retaining structures. It offers the attractive look of steel wire and stone from a traditional retaining gabion wall, but typically at a lower cost than a mass gabion structure.
By using only a single, narrow gabion retaining wall at the face, with lower cost (often site-won) soil fill material behind, reinforced with Tensar uniaxial geogrids to create a stable soil block, this system offers significant cost and time savings.
The prefabricated galvanised steel cage facing units of Tensar's rock cage retaining wall systems have been specially designed for face angles between 70˚ and 85˚. The face units are securely connected to the Tensar geogrid soil reinforcement using Tensar’s polymer bodkin joint rather than relying on friction alone, ensuring the gabion retaining wall structure remains permanently stable.
The TensarTech RockWall System includes advice, training and services from Tensar’s design and on-site teams, pre-construction drawings and installation guidance (including state-of-the-art software) as well as three specific products. These are the Tensar uniaxial geogrid reinforcement (independently BBA certified) and the welded wire units and polymer bodkin connectors, making it an efficient retaining gabion wall solution.
