When these are to be sited over weak or variable ground this poses a challenge to the engineer. Tensar geogrids provide a high performance solution, which also meets economic and environmental constraints.

Reinforcement of the granular base layer with Tensar geogrid allows the overall construction depth to be reduced; saving on materials and excavation

Significant saving in granular thickness	Interlock leads to stabilisation

 

When granular material is compacted over Tensar TriAx geogrid it partially penetrates and projects through the apertures creating a strong and positive interlock. The high tensile stiffness of Tensar geogrids allows load to be developed at very low strains.
Since 1980, several hundred million square metres of Tensar geogrids have been successfully incorporated into a wide range of sites under diverse working and climatic conditions.

The Benefits

Tensar TriAx geogrids combine major cost savings with considerable performance benefits in granular capping and sub-base layers

Savings in granular thickness of up to 40% with no performance loss
Reduction of excavated soil together with conservation of natural aggregates
Reduced disturbance and weakening of sensitive subgrade formations
Improved fill compaction
Increased design life
Control of differential settlement
Spanning of voids
Very often, making possible the impossible
