A widened embankment would support the new lane. At the foot of the existing slope is a mature hedgerow which supports several nationally scarce and vulnerable species, including ladybirds, wood boring beetles, fungus weevils and bark beetles. The bark of the hawthorn trees in the hedgerow supports the jewel beetle, a scarce species in North Kent. If the usual 1:2 slope was built to form the embankment for the fourth lane, this hedgerow and the crucial habitat it provided would be destroyed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<div class=\"container-full text-bocolor-block-green\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"col-12\">\n            <div class=\"container box-container\">\n                <div class=\"row\">\n                    <div class=\"col-12\">\n                        <h3>Solution<\/h3>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>    \n    <\/div>\n        <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"col-12\">\n            <div class=\"container box-container\">\n                <div class=\"row\">\n                    <div class=\"col-12 content\">\n                        <p>The project team needed a solution that steepened the slope, thereby reducing the land take and saving the hedgerow. The main Contractor on the project, Costain Ltd approached Maccaferri for assistance in providing a design\/supply solution for this problem area. The solution would allow the embankment to be steepened to a maximum angle of 70 degrees, thereby allowing construction of the 4th lane of the highway without the embankment impacting the hedgerow. Two options were considered; a traditional geogrid-reinforced slope with a geogrid-wrapped face, and a Green Terramesh\u00ae reinforced earth system. The embankment was a maximum of 9.3m high, of which 6.3m high was to be reinforced with geogrids, with a 1:2 slope above. Green Terramesh\u00ae is an environmentally friendly reinforced soil system used for embankment construction. It can make slopes stand steeper, withstand greater loads and take less land than un-reinforced slopes, yet still offers the ability to revegetate. It is made from Maccaferri galvanised and PVC-coated double-twist steel wire mesh forming the soil reinforcing geogrid tail and the slope face in a single unit. The geogrid tails are sandwiched between layers of compacted structural fill, reinforcing it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div><div class=\"wp-block-mac-container-block box-container\"><div class=\"container\"><h2>Used Products<\/h2><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-3 col-xl-3 col-xxl-3\"><div class=\"wp-block-mac-card-new-block block-latest-news-container\"><div class=\"card\"><div class=\"content-images\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"box-image\" src=\"\" alt=\"Terramesh\u00ae\" title=\"Terramesh\u00ae\" \/><\/div><div class=\"card-body\"><h6>Terramesh\u00ae<\/h6><span class=\"abstract\">A fam\u00edlia Maccaferri Terramesh\u00ae inclui diferentes op\u00e7\u00f5es de tipos de face para a constru\u00e7\u00e3o de muros me solos refor\u00e7ados.
