Tensar Grid Reinforcement

With its unique triangular structure, TriAx® Geogrid represents a revolutionary advancement in geogrid technology. Its multi-directional properties leverage the triangular geometry, one of construction’s most stable and widely utilized shapes, to provide a new level of in-plane stiffness. The transition from a rectangular to a triangular aperture, coupled with an increase in rib thickness and junction efficiency, offers the construction industry a better alternative to conventional materials and practices.
 

Tensar International invented and pioneered the original biaxial form of geogrid – until now the only geogrid designed for paved and unpaved applications offered by Tensar. Through advancements in technology, continual development and innovation, Tensar International is moving the grid form in a bold new direction, developing a more efficient product that achieves even greater, long-term performance benefits and life cycle cost savings in these applications.

Extensive research has allowed Tensar International to identify the key features that affect performance:

• Rib section profile
• Rib height: width aspect ratio
• Rib thickness
• Junction efficiency
• Aperture size
• In-plane stiffness

This led to the radical change from a conventional rectangular to triangular grid aperture geometry, creating a revolutionary new product: Tensar® TriAx® Geogrid.
