TENSAR GEOGRIDS

TriAx Geogrids consist of Uniaxial (UX), Biaxial (BX), and Triaxial (TX) geogrid types. Depending on the type of geogrid; they are used in applications ranging from soil reinforcement in walls and slopes to road stability and reinforcing foundations.

UX - Uniaxial

Tensar® Uniaxial (UX) Geogrids are manufactured from select grades of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) resins that are highly oriented and are designed to resist elongation (creep) when subjected to heavy loads for long periods of time. These geogrids are also highly resistant to installation damage as well as long-term chemical or biological degradation. In fact, Tensar UX Geogrids have shown no degradation in soils with pH levels measuring as high as 12 and can be used in both dry and wet environments. Given the inert properties of HDPE resins, they can be designed for use with a variety of backfill materials, including on-site soils and recycled concrete.

BX - Biaxial

Tensar International invented and advanced the biaxial form of geogrid – the original geogrid. Tensar® BX Geogrids have been used for mechanical ground stabilization in over half a million projects worldwide, including roads, reinforced foundations and working platforms.

TX - TriAx

Tensar® TriAx® Geogrid is an advanced geosynthetic product specifically designed for trafficked surfaces. TriAx Geogrid’s multi-directional properties leverage triangular geometry, one of construction’s most stable and widely utilized shapes, to provide an enhanced level of in-plane stiffness. Its triangular structure, coupled with improved rib and junction geometry, offers the construction industry an improved alternative to conventional materials and practices.
