EnviroSlope Geogrid Wrap

Overview

EnviroSlope Geogrid Wrap Railway Trestle Rebuild - Ontario Canada

EnviroSlopeTM Geogrid Wrap is an economical system to create attractive vegetated reinforced soil slopes and is recommended for slopes up to 45 degrees. The facing material for this option consists of secondary reinforcement (UV stabilized biaxial geogrid) backed by an turf reinforcement mat. The zone next to the inside front face of the facing is filled with seeded topsoil during construction for vegetation growth. Uniaxial geogrid is incorporated into the structure to support the slope at the specified angle.   The geogrid soil reinforcement is delivered to site in rolls and cut to length on site to suit the design length requirements.  Reinforced slope structures are usually constructed in areas to save space. Typically the structure delivers advantages in right of way and reduced space that could not be achieved with the slope of an unreinforced embankment. Applications include highway embankment construction, landslide repair, space savings in commercial building sites, industrial applications, decreased bridge spans, temporary road widening for detours, embankment construction with fine grained soils, permanent levees, reduced embankment footprint in sensitive areas (e.g. parks), arch culvert end treatments, and residential steepened slope structures.   An advantage with this system is there are no project specific fabricated facing elements, so delivery to site can be very rapid.
