| D) GARWALL TM & Geogrid Reinforced Soil wall: |
The Geosynthetics division of Garware-Wall ropes has the expertise to design and construct Reinforced Soil Retaining Walls of two types viz. Metal Strips system (GARWALL TM) as well as Polymer Geogrid system (Tensar).
These systems offer a technically sound and cost effective solution for the construction of retaining walls for a range of applications including approaches to flyovers and ROBs. |

| |
| A) GARWALL TM System: |
GARWALL TM is a Reinforced Soil Retaining Wall system developed by the Geosynthetic Division of Garware-Wall Ropes Ltd. The system uses 100% indigenously sourced components. High levels of performance are ensured by:
 |
Using stringent quality control in material selection, fabrication, galvanization etc. |
|
Carrying out detailed design based on internationally accepted codes of practice ( BS 8006, NF P 94-220, NCMA, FHWA) |
|
Thorough guidance and technical supervision of construction to ensure conformance to designs, drawings and specifications |
|
 |
|
|
The system constitutes the use of smooth Galvanized Steel strips as reinforcement and a segmental panel’s facia. |
| |
| B) Geogrid Reinforced Soil Wall System: |
The system constitutes the use of polymer geogrids as reinforcement and a variety of facia including segmental panels, segmental blocks or full height panel facia.
Garware-Wall ropes Ltd. is the sole distributor of Tensar Geogrids in India. |
