What Are Geogrids?
Geogrids are structural reinforcement materials made from high-strength polymers that interact with soil or aggregate to create a stable composite layer. When placed under roads, embankments, or retaining walls, they limit soil movement, increase bearing capacity, and extend the service life of the structure. HEIGER supplies multiple grid types to suit different applications, from civil infrastructure to mining and industrial projects.
Biaxial and Triaxial Geogrids for Ground Stabilisation
Biaxial geogrids provide tensile strength in two directions, ideal for stabilising subgrades and reducing deformation in pavements, access roads, and working platforms. Triaxial geogrids offer strength in multiple directions using a triangular aperture pattern, improving load transfer for heavy-duty haul roads, container yards, and port facilities. These grids reduce aggregate thickness and construction time while improving overall pavement stiffness and durability.
Common applications include:
1. Road and highway foundations
2. Rail trackbeds and ballast reinforcement
3. Industrial yards and container terminals
4. Temporary construction pads and crane platforms
Working platforms on weak subgrades
Uniaxial Geogrids for Retaining Walls and Slopes
Uniaxial geogrids provide strength in one direction and are designed for soil reinforcement in retaining walls, bridge abutments, and steep slopes. Made from high-tenacity PET yarns, they deliver long-term design strength with low creep. They are often combined with modular blocks or wrapped-face systems in mechanically stabilised earth (MSE) structures.
Typical applications include:
1. Segmental retaining walls
2. Reinforced soil slopes and embankments
3. Bridge abutments and road approach fills
4. Railway embankments and slope repairs
Composite and Asphalt Reinforcement Geogrids
Composite geogrids bond a geotextile to a geogrid layer, providing both reinforcement and separation in one product. They are effective where soil pumping or fine particle migration is a risk, such as in rail formation or low CBR ground. Asphalt reinforcement grids are used to control reflective cracking in pavement overlays, improving fatigue life and reducing maintenance costs on highways and airports.
Applications include:
1. Soft soil stabilisation and separation
2. Road rehabilitation and overlay systems
3. Airport runway resurfacing
4. Drainage and filtration layers in weak subgrades
Mining and Heavy-Load Geogrids
HEIGER supplies FRAS-rated (Fire Retardant and Anti-Static) geogrids designed for underground and surface mining. These heavy-duty PET grids provide exceptional durability under high loads and harsh conditions. Their high junction strength and long-term performance make them ideal for haul roads, access tunnels, and waste stockpile foundations.
Applications include:
1. Underground mine roadways
2. Haul roads and ramp reinforcement
3. Slope stabilisation in mining pits
4. Working platforms for drilling and heavy plant
