Manchester Airport Relief Road Scheme - Temporary Retaining Wall
Tensar’s TensarTech TR2 reinforced soil wall system was the ideal solution for a temporary raised platform, allowing the safe installation of piles for a new bridge on the Manchester Airport Relief Road Scheme.
Client’s Challenge
Morgan Sindall needed to build a temporary piling platform for construction of a new bridge to carry the off-slip road of the Manchester Airport Relief Road next to the A523 Macclesfield Road, while avoiding an historic weir wall that was in poor condition. One edge of the 4.7m high platform was formed by sheet piles but a reinforced soil solution was needed for the other sides.Tensar
Solution
Tensar’s TensarTech TR2 temporary reinforced soil wall system delivered a stable, low-cost solution that supported the rig loading of 150kPa, while being quick to build, without the need for crane lifts, foundations or specialist skills.

Zonguldak hard coal mining doubles output and modernises plant technology
A core region of hard coal extraction and energy production with a 200-year mining tradition: This brief description applies to the Ruhr region, but also to Turkey with numerous state and private hard coal mines. But there is also a considerable difference: while coal mining in the Ruhr region has been history for a year, it has excellent prospects in Turkey. This is because the considerable regional deposits are to be mined more intensively than before. This is the aim of Turkey's energy development plan, which aims to reduce its dependence on energy imports.
