Unlike other retaining walls, reinforced earth walls are not only robust but are also flexible, designed to accommodate ground movements during construction, and for several years afterward.
A big advantage of using geogrids, particularly the HDPE geogrid Tensar manufactures – is that they work with a huge range of materials, opening up the possibility of using marginal fill (including selected site-won fill) and waste products such as pulverized fuel ash (PFA). This is a great way to reduce the environmental impact of a retaining wall; plus it can save time and money.
