The T-Block Reinforced Wall

What is TENAX T-Block System?
The construction of mechanical stabilized wall with a Tenax patented connector between HDPE geogrids and segmental concrete blocks. The connectors are locked into the geogrids which are wedged between two layers of blocks to maintain wall stability.
This mechanical connection allows the system to utilize optimum full long term strength of the geogrids in the design. As the geogrids are interlocked level between blocks, wall rotation would not occur as in some other systems do.

The T-Block System Soil - Geogrid – T-clip – Block
T-Clip connector provides effective mechanical connection with the geogrid and the concrete block units to form a totally integrated system
