Uniaxial Geogrids

Tensar Uniaxial Geogrids - Tensar UX Series

Tensar UX Geogrids are manufactured from select grades of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) resins. The resins are highly oriented and resist elongation (creep) when subjected to heavy loads for long periods. In order to achieve superior strength and uniformity, manufacturers punch and draw a homogenous polymer sheet. As a result of this unique process, engineers and contractors benefit from superior junction strength and high-strength connections to other rolls of geogrid or facing components. Furthermore, Tensar Uniaxial (UX) Geogrids in soils with pH levels measuring as high as 12 show no degradation. Not to mention, they are suitable for both dry and wet environments. Their open aperture structure interlocks with fill material, providing superior load transfer from soil to geogrid. Benefit from high tensile loads applied in one direction (along the roll length) with Tensar uniaxial geogrids.

Miragrid® XT Series

Miragrid XT Geogrids are another premier solution for soil reinforcement in Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) Walls and Reinforced Soil Slope (RSS) structures. Creep-resistant*, high-tenacity multifilament polyester fibers provide higher allowable tensile strength which consequently minimizes the required stabilization layers. In addition, wide rolls significantly reduce placement time and a premium PVC coating protects the geogrid from degradation. Together, these factors decrease installation timelines and lower lifetime costs.

As one of the largest-ranging and highest-strength geogrid materials on the market, Miragrid Geogrids reinforce soil for MSE structures such as:

• Segmental retaining walls
• Precast modular block walls
• Wire faced walls
• Geosynthetic-wrapped faced walls
• Steepened slopes
• Stabilized platforms for voids bridging
• Embankments on soft soils
• Landfill veneer stability
• Reducing differential settlement
• Foundation seismic stability

*An independent test laboratory conducted more than 220,000 hours of tension creep testing.

Strata® SGU Series

Civil engineers and contractors use StrataGrid SGU uniaxial geogrids for grade separation applications such as retaining walls. Made with flexible, high molecular weight polyester yarns the geogrid has extraordinary tensile strength, increased tenacity, and low-creep properties. Furthermore, the yarns are knitted into a dimensionally stable network of apertures to form a geometric grid shape. As a result, it delivers tensile reinforcement to the soil in both vertical and horizontal directions. Furthermore, StrataGrid® has a proprietary black saturation coating. This coating provides additional chemical and mechanical benefits that preserve its durability in any environment. Select from multiple strengths to achieve the most efficient design possible.
