EPD: Polypropylene soil stabilization geogrid, 3.26 kg/m2, NX850 (Tensar)

GeogridApplying advanced material science, coextrusion technology and optimized geometry, Tensar InterAx™ geogrids provide efficient, high-performance stabilized layers that retain stiffness over time in applications such as soft soil mitigation, pavement enhancement, crane pads, working platforms, and foundation improvement under structures. Better performance means less aggregate is required to meet project requirements, saving cost, time and carbon emissions.- Coextrusion manufacturing process creates a multi-layer product, giving InterAx™ the ability to accommodate aggregate nesting. The outer layers conform to the shape of the aggregate and hold in place.- The open, floating hexagon allows for greater compliance and improved aggregate confinement under compaction and repetitive loading.- Increased number of bearing surfaces provides improved performance of the geogrid-aggregate layer, by resisting radial displacement of the aggregate under load.
