Considerate to the environment The Green Terramesh® system is a versatile solution for the design of steep slopes that have to be constructed in confined spaces. Its use in conjunction to high strength geosyn- thetic grid reinforcement makes it possible to carry relatively high loads for the full design life, at strains within serviceability require- ments. Careful attention to the natural vege-

to SANS 1580 is grey and has a nominal thick- ness of 0,5 mm and the PA6 nylon coating to EN 10245-5 is black and has a nominal thick- ness of 0,4 mm. The dimensions are given in length of tail from the front face x width of the front face x height of the front face. Attached to the inside facing is a biodegradable ECB, a welded steel panel and two steel brackets, preformed to a 70° slope angle.

tative processes makes it possible to blend the structure in with the surrounding environ- ment. The contractor should be fully compe- tent in normal civil engineering works such as material selection, setting out and compac- tion control and also be capable of working harmoniously with nature to take care of and improve the environment, where possible.
