TENAX NURAGHE geogrid/concrete block System

The TENAX NURAGHE wall systems are based on the integration of concrete blocks specifically designed for the wall facade, with polyethylene geogrids used to reinforce the soil. The blocks, generally laid on well-compacted soil, do not require mortar, but are used dry and are joined to each other thanks to their unique joint design. This process also ensures the drainage of water from the back face of the blocks with no build up of hydrostatic pressure.
The TENAX NURAGHE blocks possess a tooth on the upper base and a notch on the lower (so as to avoid slipping and facilitate installation); a vertical male and female tail joints on the sides, and they are tapered to allow for the convex facing walls. Each single block face is cambered in order to improve the architectural effect.
