    Well-known concrete products manufacturer and natural stone supplier Taranto de Pol wanted to develop their existing Tandragee site in Co. Armagh. A 9m high structure was required to retain a road which was to provide access for aggregate and cement trucks to storage hoppers at their batching plant.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Being a specialist in concrete and having a ready supply of materials, Taranto de Pol initially considered a cast-in-place reinforced concrete structure. Despite this, they wanted to explore alternatives and approached Maccaferri Ltd\u2019s Belfast office for advice.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

    Maccaferri proposed a 9m high reinforced soil solution using the Terramesh\u00ae System. The face of the structure was 75deg from horizontal thereby increasing the available area for the access road. Terramesh\u00ae features a gabion fascia unit with an integral woven steel mesh geogrid \u2018tail\u2019. This geogrid is placed horizontally between layers of compacted structural backfill, reinforcing it and making the soil perform far better than it would do in its natural \u2018unreinforced\u2019 state.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    This uniform reinforced block of soil was then capable of accommodating the 20kN\/m2 surcharge expected from the delivery trucks. Terramesh\u00ae forms flexible reinforced soil structures and can accommodate far greater differential settlements than any concrete block or precast alternative. On taller walls where forces within the embankment are higher, the Terramesh\u00ae steel geogrids are supplemented by polymeric Paragrid, installed in conjunction with them.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    This solution was accepted by Terranto de Pol. Although they had not installed Terramesh\u00ae before, Taranto de Pol had an on-site labour force and decided that following on-site training by Maccaferri personnel, they would construct the wall themselves. This confidence was given to Tarranto, knowing that they had a reputable supplier to whom they could turn if they needed on-site assistance.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
