    An old Vauxhall Motors factory site was sold to Redrow Homes as a large parcel of development land in a prime location on the outskirts of Luton. <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    The site was heavily sloped and made up of structureless chalk. The large slope required a series of terraces to optimise the plot layouts and site efficiency. In one location a 10m high structure would be required.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

    The excavated chalk was originally scheduled for landscaping and offsite disposal. However, contractor GDL, their designers GES and Maccaferri determined that with cement stabilisation, the chalks could be used as structural backfill to a reinforced soil slope. This would lead to environmental benefits due to the site-won material being reused, and also there would be no need to dispose of materials offsite or import new quarried materials. <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Maccaferri proposed the use of the Mineral Terramesh\u00ae reinforced soil retaining wall system, to create a 9.6m high structure with a 70\u2019 front face. <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    ParaGrid\u00ae polymer geogrids were used in conjunction with the Mineral Terramesh\u00ae to deliver long-term stability. <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    The Mineral Terramesh\u00ae system used is manufactured from double-twist woven wire mesh and is Zn-Al5% galvanised steel with an additional PoliMac\u00ae polymer coating. The PoliMac\u00ae coating gives the Mineral Terramesh\u00ae system a design life in excess of 120 years and is BBA HAPAS approved. PoliMac\u00ae offers far greater technical and environmental performance than traditional PVC-coated wire mesh products. <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    The factory-assembled facing combines the double twist woven mesh with a Zn-Al5% Class A galvanised welded mesh with 50mm x 50mm apertures to give an architecturally pleasing aesthetic finish. This speeds up construction as there is no unit assembly other than the insertion of braces to hold the face at the correct angle during construction. <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    The facing system also enables the use of a smaller aggregate to be used to face up the structural fill, typically a 75mm clean stone. The Mineral Terramesh\u00ae units have integral 3m reinforcement tails enveloping the facing system in a continuous length of double-twist woven mesh. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>
