Biaxial Geogrids improve the structural integrity of roads and railways and Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) Walls and Slopes by confining and distributing load forces.
Geogrids provide roads & utilities support for the construction of access roads, highways and applications on weak subgrades that previously required expensive over-excavating and replacing. Geogrids are also used for road and rail construction on stable subgrades to reduce aggregate thickness requirements and/or extend roadway performance life.
Base Reinforcement
Biaxial geogrids help improve the interaction between aggregate layers by enhancing load distribution within the pavement structure. By providing confinement to the base material, they assist in maintaining layer stability under repeated traffic loading. This can contribute to improved structural performance and support the construction of durable road and utility infrastructure.
The use of biaxial geogrids in base reinforcement applications can also optimize material usage by enabling more efficient aggregate performance. This makes them suitable for projects where long-term pavement integrity and construction efficiency are important considerations.
Subgrade Improvement
Weak or variable soil conditions can present challenges during infrastructure development. Biaxial geogrids provide additional support by improving load transfer and enhancing the stability of the underlying subgrade. This helps create a more uniform foundation capable of supporting the overlying pavement structure.
Subgrade improvement with biaxial geogrids or cell can contribute to better performance in areas exposed to heavy traffic loads or difficult ground conditions. Their use supports the development of resilient roadways, bridge approaches and utility corridors while assisting in maintaining overall structural stability throughout the service life of the project.
