Tensar TriAx geogrids help with the construction of the A1073 replacement link(07/10/2010)
The mechanical stabilisation performance of Tensar International's TriAx™ geogrids are helping with the construction of the £80 million A1073 replacement link between Spalding and Peterborough, over highly variable ground conditions in the Fens. At 22km the new road is the UK’s longest project in 2009-2010, and will bypass the existing, hazardous narrow road which carries extensive local traffic. Originally salt marsh, the area was regularly inundated; current ground levels are between 1m an... [more]

Geotechnical solutions can help reduce carbon emissions of the construction and civil engineering industries(24/10/2008)
The continuing battle by the British Aggregates Association (BAA) to protect its members’ interests against the UK’s Aggregate Levy, which it has termed a ‘stealth tax’, may have recently received a favourable recommendation from the European Court of Justice, but the so-called victory is not endorsed by all interested parties, points out Tensar International. “The construction and civil engineering industries are trying to establish a much greener image,” commented Ian Fraser, Tensar’s UK Sa...
