Geogrid for retaining wall
ENKAGRID® PRO
COLBOND Geosyntetics
Enkagrid PRO is a uniaxial geogrid of highly oriented, extruded polyester bars, with primary tensile strength in the longitudinal direction and secondary tensile strength in transverse direction, used for the reinforcement of slopes, embankments, walls, abutments, reinforced facings and platforms and foundations of buildings and other structures.
If the slope angle is steeper than the internal friction angle of the soil available, structures cease to be safe, in which case action must be taken to restore the necessary safety required and maintain it in the long term. Using Enkagrid PRO geogrids to reinforce a wide range of structures has proven itself as one of the most effective solutions worldwide. The geogrid makes up for the deficiency in the shear strength of the soil caused by the steep slope angle. Using reinforcement mats protects structures reliably against failure.
Enkagrid PRO is available in a range of five main primary tensile strengths in widths of up to 5 m. Its high longitudinal tensile strength is provided by the solid black straps. The transparent straps hold the black straps in place and transmit forces into them. The colour-coding of the bars ensure that the Enkagrid PRO geogrid is laid in the correct orientation.
