Overview of StrataGrid™: Uniaxial Geogrid

Revolutionizing Soil Reinforcement and Erosion Control using Uniaxial Geogrid

Introducing StrataGrid™, an innovative geogrid that serves as a highly efficient soil reinforcement solution. This cutting-edge product is created by interweaving high-tenacity polyester yarn into a stable network of apertures, forming a geometric grid. StrataGrid™ offers exceptional tensile strength and a high molecular weight, enabling it to provide both vertical and horizontal soil reinforcement. Moreover, its exclusive UV-stabilized coating compound ensures remarkable durability, even in harsh weather conditions. With industry-leading elongation and stress-strain values, StrataGrid™ guarantees a structure’s lifespan of over 100 years.

Geogrid reinforcement proves to be a game-changer, addressing technical and cost-related challenges while reclaiming previously unusable land. Particularly impressive is its application in space-saving mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) systems, which offer stronger and more cost-effective infrastructure with minimal environmental impact.

Empowering Infrastructure with StrataGrid™ HyTen for Soft Soil Embankments

Our specialized line, StrataGrid™ HyTen, comprises geogrids with unparalleled strength, boasting tensile strengths exceeding 200 kN/m (13,704 lbs/ft). These geogrids are primarily used in the construction of embankments over soft soil grounds, including organic peat and clay-type soils. By employing safe design methods, StrataGrid™ HyTen allows for direct construction on challenging soil types. It effectively limits vertical settlements and provides a solid reinforced soil foundation over voids, ensuring stability and longevity.

Manufacturing Process of StrataGrid™ Uniaxial Geogrid

How is our Uniaxial Geogrid manufactured?

StrataGrid™ Uniaxial Geogrid is manufactured in a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant located in India.
The manufacturing process involves 3 phases:

Beaming

A predetermined number of yarn ends are pulled from a creel and are wound onto a large cylindrical beam. We have fully automated, highly sophisticated beaming machinery, which ensures uniformity in yarn tension and take-up and unwinding stability.

Knitting

Using state-of-the-art knitting machines, high tenacity Polyester yarn is precision-knitted into a dimensionally stable network of apertures that serves as a highly stable, high modulus precursor to the coating process. 

Coating

The greige fabric obtained from the processes described above is taken on to a one-of-a-kind, ultra-modern coating machine where the greige fabric is coated with a proprietary SBR-based coating compound, which lends it durability, dimensional stability and resistance to installation damage.

Applications of StrataGrid™ Uniaxial Geogrids

Where does Uniaxial Geogrids come into play?

We guide engineers, contractors, and owners to use StrataGrid™ to achieve cost effective, sustainable, and reliable solutions for various site development challenges.

Embankment over soft soils (basal reinforcement)

StrataGrid™ is utilized in embankment projects over soft soils for basal reinforcement. By incorporating StrataGrid™ as a stabilizing element, it distributes loads, reduces settlement, and provides a solid foundation over voids. Its high tensile strength ensures the stability and structural integrity of embankments, enabling safe construction on challenging soil conditions.

Below structural foundations

Below structural foundations

StrataGrid™ is an ideal solution for below structural foundations. It provides effective reinforcement, enhancing the stability and durability of the foundation. With its high tensile strength, StrataGrid™ offers reliable support, preventing soil movement and settling. Trust StrataGrid™ to ensure the long- term integrity of below structural foundations.

Block and panel walls for highways, landfills, and other retaining walls

StrataGrid™ proves invaluable in the construction of block and panel walls for highways, landfills, and other retaining wall projects. By incorporating StrataGrid™ as a reinforcement solution, these walls gain enhanced strength and stability. The high tensile strength and dimensional stability of StrataGrid™ effectively distribute lateral forces, prevent wall movement, and improve overall structural integrity. This ensures the long-term stability and durability of block and panel walls in demanding applications. StrataGrid™ offers a reliable and cost-effective solution for reinforcing retaining walls, allowing for safe and efficient construction in various settings.

Reinforced steep soil slopes and embankments

Reinforced steep soil slopes and embankments

StrataGrid™ is exceptionally suited for reinforcing steep soil slopes and embankments. With its high tensile strength and dimensional stability, StrataGrid™ provides reliable soil reinforcement, mitigating the risk of slope instability. It distributes forces, limits erosion, and enhances the overall stability of the slope or embankment. Count on StrataGrid™ to deliver a robust and long-lasting solution for reinforced steep soil slopes and embankments.
