Tensar’s design team can produce a FREE “Application Suggestion” to illustrate what Tensar can achieve and how much value you can add to your project.
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.
Our innovative gabion retaining wall system uses a single, narrow rock cage basket at the face and (often site-won) soil fill material behind, which is reinforced with Tensar uniaxial geogrids. This solution brings substantial cost and time-saving benefits to your project:
- Fast and easy to install
- Natural rock facing blends well with the environment and adapts easily to different landscape
- High-strength geogrid reinforcement ensures long-term durability
- Minimal maintenance required
- Requires less excavation and foundation preparation
- Uses sustainable materials and reduces carbon footprint.
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.
To support you, our rock cage retaining wall system solution 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), and 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 gabion retaining wall solution.
