Tensar® Temporary Walls
Low-Cost Alternative to Sheet Piles
Overview
| Share This Share More...
The Tensar Temporary Retaining Walls are ideal for maintenance of traffic and staged construction operations, as is often seen during bridge improvements and road widening construction. This solution internally reinforces the fill within the wall and provides an inexpensive facing system. In addition to being a low-cost alternative to conventional temporary walls such as sheet piles, the Tensar Temporary Wall is easy to install, requires no special labor or cranes, and can be left in place and buried in phased construction.

Component Function
Tensar® Uniaxial (UX) Geogrids Manufactured from high density polyethylene (HDPE), the geogrid "locks up" the internal fill material, creating a reinforced soil mass with no load imposed on the below-grade structure.
Geotextile Used to contain fill at the face.
Standard Wire Baskets Provide facial stability during placement and compaction of the fill material. The internally-braced baskets permit positive alignment of the wall to meet staged construction requirements.
