Overview

This crib walling system is designed for the construction of reinforced soil walls with a 4:1 or 84° face angle. With TensarTech EcoCrib, engineers gain a crib wall facing which provides an aesthetically pleasing alternative to timber or concrete finish with the potential to use a variety of site-worn granular and recycled fill types. Services can include detailed crib wall design, professional indemnity, construction drawings and construction advice during installation on site.

System Components

The TensarTech Ecocrib System includes advice, training and services from Tensar’s design and on-site teams, as well as four specific products. These are Tensar uniaxial geogrids (high-density polyethylene with extremely high durability and no corrosion potential), 100% recycled and 100% recyclable crib facing manufactured from 100% UK waste polymer, GRP dowel pins for interconnecting and Tensar high-efficiency polymer connector. 

Achieve Lasting Results

TensarTech EcoCrib goes beyond traditional crib wall solutions, offering a range of benefits that simplify your project and ensure long-lasting performance. EcoCrib boasts lightweight interlocking components that enable a quick and easy on-site assembly process. This reduces construction time and labour costs compared to conventional crib wall materials. 

Unlike timber crib walls susceptible to rot and degradation, EcoCrib is also built to last. Boasting a design life expectancy of up to 120 years, EcoCrib is highly resistant to ultraviolet light, water damage, and fungal infestation, minimising the need for replacements and ensuring lasting value.

Minimise Your Environmental Impact

EcoCrib is manufactured from 100% recycled UK waste polymer. This significantly reduces the embodied carbon compared to using materials like concrete or timber. This use of recycled materials helps projects qualify for points towards LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification - the world's most widely used green building rating system.

Unlock Design Flexibility

EcoCrib versatility makes it a perfect fit for a wide range of applications. Need to tame challenging slopes and embankments? EcoCrib provides a robust and stable solution that looks great too, seamlessly integrating with the natural landscape. From creative shapes to various colour options, EcoCrib™ allows you to bring your vision to life.

Unlock design flexibility, conquer slopes, and achieve lasting results – all with the versatility of TensarTech EcoCrib retaining wall system.
