| 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
sacrificial 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. A stone face finish can also be
achieved for slopes above 65o. Phi Group design the system to Highway Design Codes giving a
120 year design life. |

| Benefits |
| • |
Can be built with site-won cohesive fill materials. This can genereate substantial savings in import of granular fill and muck-away of cohesive arisings. |
| • |
Flexibility - Can be built with curves, corners, terraces, varying wall heights and streps. |
| • |
Tolerant of differential and overall settlement - Designed to ensure that settlement of cohesive fills during compaction can be accommodated without face deformation. |
| • |
durable - 120 years design life. |
| • |
Construction is entirely from behind the face of the slopes and no temporary propping is required. |
