Geogrids

GEOGRIDS

Geogrids are used in both soil reinforcement and stabilisation functions. Soil reinforcement geogrids are generally used in long term loading applications and rely predominantly on long-term tensile strength which includes factors catering for tensile creep. These strength-based geogrid applications include reinforced soil walls & slopes, void spanning, basal embankment reinforcement, load transfer platforms, and veneer stability. Most geogrids used in these applications will be uniaxial (predominant tensile strength in one direction) but biaxial geogrids (similar tensile strengths in two orthogonal directions) are also utilised Soil stabilisation geogrids are used in transient loading applications and rely mostly on tensile stiffness, geogrid-soil interlock, and the resulting soil confinement and lateral restraint. These confinement-based stabilisation applications include subgrade stabilisation, pavement optimisation, and soft soil capping. Geogrids used in these applications will be biaxial geogrids with similar stiffness in two orthogonal directions or multiaxial geogrids, like TriAx® or InterAx®.

Tensar® TriAx®

Tensar® TriAx® & biaxial stabilisation geogrids, geogrid and geotextile TX-G geocomposites and uniaxial reinforcement geogrids are offered by Green Gravity Walls UK Ltd as part of their geosynthetics range.

BIAXIAL

We recommend using this high-performance geogrid in combination with our ECO-MSE solutions to provide added reinforcement, improved stability, and long-term structural integrity for retaining walls and slope applications.

Stabilisation geogrids provide benefits on a range of construction projects:

Features & benefits include:
  • Reducing aggregate layer thickness and associated costs
  • Reduced excavation, waste & disposal (potential savings on landfill tax)
  • Increase design life and reduce whole life costs
  • Programme savings via rapid construction
  • Increasing bearing capacity
  • Control of differential settlement and surface rutting
  • Reduced carbon footprint and improved sustainability
  • Ease of handling and simple installation with associated time and cost savings.
Application areas include:
  • ECO-MSE structures
  • Highways and car parks
  • Temporary crane & piling platforms
  • Temporary & permanent haul roads
  • Rail track permanent way
  • Airport runways and aprons
  • Coastal and river defence walls and bunds
  • Environmental protection and noise bunds
  • Waste disposal and landfill
  • Capping of weak soils, sludge lagoons and land reclamation.
