Uniaxial geo grids typically have their tensile strength in the machine (roll) direction. They are mainly used to reinforce the soil mass in a steepened slope or segmental retaining wall. On occasion, they function as a wrapping to confine the aggregate in the wire forms of welded wire faced steepened slopes.
Our niaxial geogrids are made from polyester yarn, knitted or woven into a stable structure and have a PVC or polymeric coating. These flexible, user-friendly geogrids are inert to biological degradation and resistant to creep, strain and naturally found chemicals.
Some lighter strength polyester geogrids such as Stratagrid 150 are biaxial. These flexible grids are perfect for retaining walls less than 6' tall and are ideal for the novice retaining wall builder or homeowner.
