Why Gripple?
Gripple is a market leading manufacturer delivering time-saving simplicity and problem-solving innovation in landscaping applications. With partners around the world, we’re a globally recognised brand, synonymous with time, labour and CO2 saving solutions, outstanding technical support and innovation driven by employee ownership. We offer a comprehensive solution for slope stability and erosion control – designed to deliver significant benefits when compared to traditional solutions - characterised by products designed and manufactured in-house, alongside on-site training and support delivered by a team of dedicated technical experts.
Considerable time and cost savings on your project
Hard armour is cumbersome to install, and often requires heavy tools. The Terra-Lock™ System is installed quickly with hand tools, vastly reducing installation times and delivering significant labour cost savings. Unlike hard armour installation, the Terra-Lock™ System does not add thickness to a channel lining, thus minimising the necessary groundworks and delivering environmental, wastage and labour benefits.
Aesthetic solutions for greener environments
The green finish achieved by the Terra-Lock™ System provides clear benefit over traditional systems. A natural, vegetated finish delivers enhanced aesthetics when compared to concrete, which is often susceptible to graffiti damage. The Terra-Lock™ System also promotes and enhances vegetation growth, making it a sustainable option which allows nature to create its own protection. It’s long lasting, environmentally friendly and can actually capture sedimentation.
A lightweight system which minimises health and safety concerns
Hard armour installs require regular heavy machinery movements during the installation process. The lightweight nature of the Terra-Lock™ System not only reduces install costs, but also significantly reduces heavy traffic on-site, vastly improving safety. This also delivers significant benefits on sites where access is limited.
Innovative, patented solutions designed by an in-house team of engineers
Gripple is a world class product manufacturer with a wealth of expertise – should the requirement be bespoke, we will work with our in-house product design engineers to deliver the right solution. On-site and laboratory testing of our systems and their components ensures the solutions are fit for purpose, and meet our own rigorous quality checks.
Considerable reductions in packaging, vehicle movements and embodied CO2
The Terra-Lock System ensures large reductions in carbon footprint and emissions when compared to traditional hard armours. Concrete is responsible for 5% of worldwide synthetic CO2 emissions, whereas the vegetation promoted in the Terra-Lock™ System actively absorbs CO2.
A range of support services at every stage of your project, provided by a dedicated technical team
Site surveys and geotechnical report interpretation ensure Gripple is able to provide engineering concepts to solve complex geotechnical issues. Full drawings with justification can be provided for a value-engineered solution.
Gripple also offer a design service of site submittals, including technical recommendations, calculations and drawings. Solutions are site specific and tailor-engineered to ensure input from Gripple engineers at all stages of the project. An accredited CPD course on anchoring solutions is also available upon request.
