For this Throwback Thursday we’re going to be taking a look at our Meadowside Development Case Study which incorporated 3 of our products; Tenax TT, T Block & Ekotex® to reach the clients requirements.

As part of the Section 278 works for the Meadowside housing development, a retaining wall was specified beneath the existing main road and access road into the scheme. This retaining structure needed to also accommodate a vehicle containment barrier. The initial design brief was to provide an aesthetically pleasing and cost-effective alternative to a traditional reinforced concrete wall, whist satisfying the requirements of the adopting authority. The Geosynthetics Engineering team prepared a technical recommendation and from this were able to demonstrate that a reinforced soil wall would meet the requirements and offer significant cost reductions over a concrete wall. The geometry of the site dictated that a vertical retaining wall to a maximum height of 5.4m would be required with a vegetated battered slope above.
