Rock fall protection

When a rock face slope is adjacent to public areas, roads and railways, the hazard of falling fragments may be controlled by cladding the face with TENAX RS 320 SAMP, bi-oriented geogrid. TENAX RS 320 geogrids are manufactured from a unique process of extrusion and biaxial orientation to enhance their tensile properties and they are stabilized to withstand long term U.V. exposure, thereby guaranteeing long term efficient protection.

TENAX RS 320, bi-oriented geogrids, are particularly useful to prevent rock and debris from falling on the roads and railways, due to their high tensile strength and modulus, excellent resistance to construction damage and environmental exposure to meet the strict requirements for this type of work.
Furthermore, the geometry and flexibility of TENAX RS 320 geogrids allows strong mechanical interlock and a perfect adherence to whatever kind of rock slope is to be reinforced, contained, and continuous protection against the falling of stones is required. Lengths of geogrid are fixed at the top and along the slope with anchors, the diameter and length of which is dependent on the type rock face strata.
No other system is cheaper and easier than installing TENAX RS 320 SAMP HDPE geogrids against falling rocks and stones and to improve the growth of vegetation on the slope face.
