Textomur

Textomur consists of horizontal geogrids or geotextiles typically at 600mm vertical centres within compacted cohesive or granular fill material. The facing to the slopes is formed using a steel mesh ‘formwork' backed by a geosynthetic facing fabric which retains a layer of topsoil immediately behind the face. The finished slope can be hydroseeded to establish grass, or planted with appropriate ground cover shrubs.

St Ann's, Nottingham

In order to provide development space for three new blocks of flats and gardens, Main Contractor Gleeson Building had first to overcome a problem due to the 9 metre difference in site levels.

Wises Lane, Sittingbourne

A central landscaped storm water attenuation basin and pond feature was required for the new Bloor Homes housing development in Sittingbourne, Kent.

Great Park Phase II, Birmingham

Increased development space has been created for housing and commercial units by the use of Textomur reinforced soil. An economic retaining solution was needed for the site boundary which was more than 300m long and turned through 90° in three places. The wall also had to retain more than 9m of ground at various points along its length.

This project required a cut and fill exercise to maximise the amount of developable area, and from an early stage in the project Phi Group assisted site developers Morbaine Limited with the design of the retaining structures to achieve this.
