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.

Sustainable Solutions with StrataGrid™ in Soil Reinforcement and Erosion Control

In the realm of soil reinforcement and erosion control, StrataGrid™ stands as a groundbreaking innovation. Its wide-ranging applications, unmatched advantages, and commitment to durability make it the ideal choice for projects involving highway embankments, retaining walls, soil erosion solutions, and reinforced soil. Experience the transformative power of StrataGrid™ and unlock the potential of your infrastructure projects while preserving the environment for generations to come.

Versatile Applications of StrataGrid™ in Mitigating Soil Erosion and Enhancing Stability

From mitigating soil erosion and preventing land erosion to enhancing the structural integrity of retaining walls and stabilizing steep slopes, StrataGrid™ offers versatile solutions. Its advanced geogrid technology effectively controls soil erosion and reinforces soil, making previously unstable areas usable and safeguarding the environment.

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.

Quality Assurance of StrataGrid™ Uniaxial Geogrids

How long does Uniaxial Geogrids last?

The dilemma facing most design engineers is that all geosynthetic reinforcements are not created equal. The long-term performance of a geogrid is dependent on several factors such as raw materials used, the manufacturing process adopted, the designs, and the end application.

Since, geogrids are used for critical designs, it is essential to have a clear understanding of the above factors. StrataGrid™ undergoes exhaustive testing at internationally reputed laboratories to define all of the above factors.
