The Sierra Slope system is the "green" structural alternative to retaining walls. Sierra Slope maximizes the use of valuable land and is lower in cost than concrete retaining walls. Sierra Slope also has the added benefits of natural aesthetics and flexibility.
The basic components of the Sierra Slope system include:
- Tensar Uniaxial Geogrids which create a reinforced soil mass
- Tensar Biaxial Geogrids provide secondary reinforcement to ensure surficial stability of the slope structure
- A Site-specific facing system provides a multiple of aesthetic facing options, including bio-engineering (In Canada only: dimensions for Sierra Slope Welded Wire Forms (when required) are 508mm x 508mm (20" x 20") )
Sierra Slope is a smart choice for grade separation systems. Sierra Slope costs 30 to 60 per cent less than concrete wall systems, and it enhances property values with naturally vegetated, graffiti-resistant facing options. A SierraSlope system can be constructed without select/specialized backfill and is well suited to sites prone to differential settlement.
