TenCate Mirafi BXG Geogrids

Highlights

• Benefits

  • Reinforcement Strength – High tensile modulus properties per ASTM D6637 for base reinforcement applications. For structures with dynamic short-term loadings, Mirafi® BXG geogrids offer high strength at low strain and are designed for maximum bearing capacity and shear resistance.
  • True biaxial strengths – Mirafi ® BXG geogrids are biaxial grids that exhibit high tensile strength in both longitudinal and transverse directions, making them suitable for base course reinforcement and soil stabilization applications.
  • Durability – Superior damage resistance from moderate to severe stress installations.
  • Soil Interaction – Superior soil confinement resulting in greater load distribution. A combination of grid structure and polymers create optimum soil-grid interaction.
  • Roll Sizes – Available in multiple roll sizes to fit the project requirements.
  • Seams – Panels can be sewn together in the factory or field, providing cross-roll direction strength to facilitate installation.

• Functions

  • Confinement – The ability of a geosynthetic to restrain lateral movement from a soil or aggregate through friction or mechanical interlock.
  • Soil Reinforcement – The synergistic improvement of a total system’s strength created by the introduction of a reinforcing geosynthetic (that is good in tension) into a soil and/or aggregate system (that is good in compression, but poor in tension).

• Applications

  • paved roads
  • construction haul roads
  • foundation reinforcement
  • working platforms on weak sub-grades
  • secondary reinforcement for soil retaining structures
