GLOBAL SYNTHETICS PROJECT SUPPORT OPTIONS

Soil System - Shallow Slopes This LINKMESH™ System is for slopes up to 45º, utilising primary structural ACEGrid® geogrids for internal stability of the slope. It also incorporates a permanent Turf Reinforcement Mat (TRM) laid over the slope surface to prevent erosion and promote vegetative growth. No rigid facing or LINKMESH™ steel facing panels are required for this option.

Our technical support service is available in the initial stages of your project to discuss the options and recommend the best reinforced soil solution for your site.

Our experienced team may also suggest other repair solutions which are applicable besides reinforced soil solutions to allow you to compare options. Technical support includes typical solutions, case studies, data sheets etc.

comprehensive submission of the wall layout, reinforcement type and spacing and submit a proposal for your perusal. This is invaluable for costing and client submissions. The project concept submission may include CAD drawings, data sheets, internal stability analysis, and global stability analysis as appropriate.
