Installation Year: Early 2000
Material Supplied: Tensar® Uniaxial Geogrid
Project Description:
The Empire Brunei, a renowned five-star resort known for its award-winning golf course, faced slope stability issues along Hole 18, where soil slumping posed a risk of erosion and potential closure. To address this, a reinforced soil structure was installed using Tensar® Uniaxial Geogrids with steel mesh facing, providing structural support while allowing for a vegetated finish to preserve the course’s landscape and prestige.

Installation Year: 2019
Material Supplied: Tensar® RE Uniaxial Geogrids and Megaflo® subsoil drainage
Project Description:
The slope behind Gerai Selera Pekan Tutong faced challenges from high soil acidity and a high water table due to poor drainage. To rehabilitate the slope, a Wraparound System was implemented using Tensar® RE Uniaxial Geogrids and Megaflo® subsoil drainage.
This reinforced soil structure provided chemical resistance, durability, and a natural vegetated finish, while also addressing space limitations near the food court. The system is cost-effective, easy to install, and suitable for contractors with limited geotechnical experience.

Installation Year: 2024
Material Supplied: StrataWeb® Geocell & Tensar® Uniaxial Geogrid
Project Description:
In 2024, slope remediation was carried out at Jalan Buau, Mukim Sukang, Belait District, using a mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) system with StrataWeb® geocells and Tensar® uniaxial geogrid to restore stability and prevent future failures. Given the site's remote location, the use of lightweight, compact, and easily transported materials made the solution logistically efficient and cost-effective.

Installation Year: 2020
Material Supplied: Tensar® Uniaxial Geogrid
Project Description:
The Babu Raja Flyover, part of Brunei’s 10th National Development Plan (RKN 10), was built to ease traffic congestion and improve connectivity between Jalan Babu Raja and Jalan Ripas. As a major infrastructure upgrade, it enhances traffic flow and road safety in the area.
A key structural feature is the TensarTech TW3 retaining wall system, which supports the 60-meter span’s abutments and wing walls. This system uses durable HDPE Tensar RE Uniaxial Geogrids to form a long-lasting, mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall, certified under the UK’s HAPAS BBA. Its mortar-free, dry-lay blocks connect to the geogrids using bodkin joints for secure reinforcement.
Additionally, Tensar TriAx® Geogrids were used in the pavement design to stabilize the subgrade. This improved the strength and lifespan of the road while reducing maintenance needs, offering a cost-effective and sustainable solution for long-term performance.

Installation Year: 2019
Material Supplied: Tensar® Uniaxial Geogrid
Project Description:
To address slope stability issues at the Berakas Garrison Mini Stadium, the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) Brunei carried out a remedial project involving the construction of a Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) retaining wall. The wall was reinforced using Tensar RE Uniaxial Geogrids, a modern alternative to traditional steel mesh and precast panels.
Made from HDPE, the geogrids interlock with the fill material to form a strong, flexible, and durable structure capable of withstanding heavy loads and seismic activity. Their resistance to long-term deformation and compatibility with locally sourced backfill helped enhance structural performance while reducing construction costs.

Installation Year: 1990s
Material Supplied: Tensar® Uniaxial Geogrid
Project Description:
The Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah (SHHB) Highway Flyover is a landmark project in Brunei, featuring the region’s first use of the Keystone wall system. This structure combines pre-cast Keystone modular blocks with Tensar® RE Uniaxial Geogrids to form a durable, low-maintenance Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) retaining wall with a design life of up to 120 years. Serving as a key connector to major government buildings, the flyover highlights efficient construction using mortar-free blocks and locally available fill. The HDPE geogrids provide long-term soil reinforcement, high load capacity, and seismic resistance. This project sets a new benchmark in innovative and sustainable infrastructure development.
