Tensar Biaxial (BX) 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.

Biaxial (BX) geogrid is Tensar's original geogrid invention. This geogrid changed the game when it was first introduced for soil stabilization back in the 1980s. Since then, Tensar BX geogrids have been used for mechanical ground stabilization in over half a million projects worldwide.

Although this is the lowest initial cost geogrid, it's not considered the highest performer, and other geogrids can better decrease the overall cost of a project. With decades of research, Tensar has evolved their technology to create more advanced geogrids, like InterAx™ geogrid. InterAx geogrid offers exponentially improved performance, further reduces required aggregate, and delivers longer service life and greater cost savings.
