Developed for soil reinforcement in wall and slope applications
Most advanced geosynthetic made for soil reinforcement
Made from select grades of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) resins
Highly oriented polymer structure to resist elongation (creep) under sustained tensile loads
Resistant to installation damage and chemical or biological long-term degradation
Tensar invented geogrids, and Tensar uniaxial geogrids were actually the first commercially available geogrid type. They have been used in projects worldwide for over 40 years, during which time, continuous development has seen multiple improvements. The latest (fourth) generation provides even greater strength per kg of resin, leading to even greater construction economies.
Tensar has a wide range of systems employed in the construction of bridge abutments, retaining walls, steep slopes and embankment basal mattresses, and the majority of them rely on Tensar uniaxial geogrids to reinforce the soil and create the mechanically stabilised earth (MSE) layers.
