TenCate Miragrid XT

TenCate Miragrid® XT

Miragrid® XT uniaxial geogrids are high performance woven polyester and polymer-coated geogrids used for soil reinforcement. Miragrid® XT is also used in mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) applications including internally reinforced walls, segmental retaining walls (SRW’s), and steepened slopes. Miragrid® XT uniaxial geogrids provide high, long-term design strengths (LTDS) and excellent soil interaction. Constructed of high tenacity, high molecular weight, woven polyester, Miragrid® XT uniaxial geogrids deliver long-term performance.

Highlights

Benefits

  • High long-term design strengths (LTDS) – Miragrid® geogrids have more than 220,000 hours of tension creep testing performed at an independent test laboratory
  • Credible – Dependable long term strength assured
  • Cost-Effective – Creep resistant polyester fibers provide higher allowable tensile strength, minimizing the required number of geogrid layers. Wide rolls significantly reducing placement time, lowering cost
  • Light weight – Easy to handle and no sharp edges
  • Flexible, tough – Minimizes movement of soil structure
  • Custom fabrication -Rolls fabricated to meet your specific project requirements
  • Strength – Miragrid® geogrids provide the widest strength range, and are the highest strength geogrid material in the market today

Functions

  • 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
  • Confinement – The ability of a geosynthetic to restrain lateral movement from a soil or aggregate through friction or mechanical interlock

Applications

  • steepened slopes: vegetated and wrapped faced
  • walls: permanent and temporary
  • segmented retaining walls
  • void spanning
  • veneer reinforcement
  • soil reinforcement
  • landfills
