A maker of geogrid and soil stabilization products used in reinforced walls, slopes and pavements.
Tensar describes itself as a provider of geogrid and soil stabilization solutions for reinforced walls, slopes, roads and other civil projects. Geogrids are strong grids placed in layers within compacted soil to tie a wall facing into the ground behind it. Owners in Nashville may hear the word when a taller block wall is designed, and the official site offers general information about how reinforcement works.
We are an independent firm and are not affiliated with Tensar, and Tensar is a trademark of its owner. The engineer or wall system provider specifies geogrid type, length and spacing, and we install it as designed with careful compaction. If you want to learn more, the official site has information, and we are glad to explain in plain language why geogrid is used and how it is placed in a wall.
