Tensar TriAx (TX) Geogrids

A geosynthetic is a synthetic product, usually made from or including polymeric materials, that are used to solve civil and geotechnical engineering problems in or on the ground. Geosynthetics add to or enhance the functions of conventional materials to make construction more efficient, cost-effective, and reliable. Designs using geosynthetics should be based on the function(s) of the selected materials to meet the engineering objective(s). Geogrids were invented by Tensar in the late 1970s and are a category of geosynthetic material that can be used to provide the functions of reinforcement, stabilization, and filtration.

Tensar TriAx® geogrid has helped contractors and pavement engineers around the world stabilize soft soils and optimize pavement designs to get longer service life for their budget. Its multi-directional properties leverage triangular geometry, one of construction's most stable shapes, to provide greater stability. TriAx geogrid’s diagonal ribs increase the in-plane stiffness. The triangular pattern forms a hexagon to improve how the product absorbs the forces from traffic loading. Its high aspect ratio provides better interlock with the surrounding aggregate. The ability to efficiently confine aggregate reduces installation costs while improving the overall performance of the structure.
