EPD: Polypropylene soil stabilization geogrid, 3.99 kg/m2, HX5.5 (Tensar International Corporation)

Product Name: Tensar H-Series HX5.5 and HX165 GeogridApplying optimized geometry, Tensar H-Series HX5.5 and HX165 geogrids provide high-performance soil stabilization at a more economical cost. The broader range of aperture shapes and sizes of Tensar H-series geogrids allows for better compatibility between the geogrid and multiple fill materials, improving particle confinement under compaction and repetitive loading. Better geogrid-fill compatibility provides an effective stabilized layer with less fill material, reducing project costs and construction time. Better performance means less aggregate is required to meet project requirements, saving cost, time and carbon emissions.- Provides a resilient solution for building higher performing trafficked surfaces that can withstand the impact of severe weather and challenging environmental conditions- Optimized geometry that enhances the interlock of fill materials, creating an efficient stabilized layer- Proven to reduce initial and lifecycle costs, reduce construction time, and gain sustainability benefits on projects
