The Tenax Rivel system allows the creation of reinforced earth with green facades that can be used for the widening of slopes, the repair of landslides, the construction of road and railway embankments, rockfall barriers, noise barriers, and containment embankments.With the Tenax Rivel system, it is possible to create reinforced earth structures with a slope of up to 85° with a grass finish, with climbing plants or other species, without the use of concrete. Thanks to its versatility, it can be used in both small private projects and large public works.
The construction of reinforced earth structures is simple, fast, and does not require special labor or equipment; the materials can be handled by hand and, in most cases, the existing soil on site can be used as fill, thus saving on construction costs.The flexibility of the Tenax Rivel reinforced earth system allows for the construction of curves and cliffs; in this way, it is possible to adapt the structure to blend harmoniously into the surrounding environment.
The reinforcement element consists ofTenax TT geogrids,extruded in HDPE, which interact with the soilto improve its mechanical performance. The soil-geogrid structure combines the compressive strength of the soil with the tensile strength of the geogrid, thus creating a material with improved characteristics.
The metal facade formworks, equipped with special tie rods, provide guidance and support during the reinforced earth construction phase. They have no structural function but are disposable elements.
Our facade mats protect against erosion and promote the greening of the structure, allowing the growth of grass or other suitable plants.
