50.8x50.8mm Grid Mesh Size 200-30 KN/M Uniaxial Polyester Geogrid
Reinforcement of weak ground For Transportation
Why This 200-30KN/M Polyester Geogrid Specification Matters ?
Economical for Massive Structures: Using a single layer of 200 kN/m
geogrid can be more cost-effective
and faster to install than multiple layers of a lower-strength
geogrid (e.g., 80 kN/m), reducing the number
of lifts and the amount of compaction required.
Enables Ambitious Designs: It allows engineers to design and build
earth structures that were previously
only feasible with massive concrete gravity walls or complex soil
nailing/anchoring systems.
Proven Reliability: The combination of polyester's material
properties and the integral structure of the geogrid
provides a predictable and reliable material for critical permanent
works.
Polyester (PET) Geogrid Key Characteristics:
This nomenclature directly refers to the geogrid's ultimate tensile
strength per meter of width,
as determined by standardized test methods (e.g., ASTM D6637).
200 kN/m: This is the strength in the primary, longitudinal
(machine) direction.
Context: 200 kilonewtons per meter is an extremely high capacity.
To visualize,
200 kN is roughly equivalent to holding a tensile force of 20,000
kg (or 20 metric tons) for
every single meter width of geogrid. This is the working direction
of the geogrid.
30 kN/m: This is the strength in the secondary, transverse
direction.
Context: This is significantly lower because the geogrid is
engineered to be uniaxial.
This secondary strength is primarily to maintain the geogrid's
geometry and integrity during
handling and installation, not for carrying primary loads.

UX Uniaxial Polyester Geogrids:
Stronger in one direction, used for reinforcement in specific
directions, such as retaining walls.
BX Biaxial Polyester Geogrids:
Strong in both directions, suitable for applications requiring
reinforcement in all directions, like embankments and slopes.
How Uniaxial Geogrids Work ?
Soil Reinforcement:
Uniaxial geogrids are placed between soil layers, providing tensile
strength in one direction, which helps to reinforce the soil and
improve its overall stability.
Load Distribution:
They distribute loads over a wider area, reducing stress on
individual soil particles and preventing settlement or failure.
Erosion Prevention:
By reinforcing the soil, they help prevent erosion, particularly on
slopes and embankments

Uniaxial Polyester Geogrids Applications:
This geogrid is not for standard projects; it is reserved for
mega-scale and critical reinforcement:
Very Tall Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) Walls: This is the
primary application.
It is used for walls exceeding 12-15 meters (40-50 feet) in height,
and often for walls over 30 meters (100 feet). Examples include:
Highway interchanges and bridge abutments in mountainous terrain.
Retaining walls for port and harbor facilities.
Noise barrier walls along major transportation corridors.
Extremely Steep Slopes: Reinforcing slopes at angles that would be
impossible with natural soil,
often in challenging environments where space is severely
constrained.
Landfill Infrastructure: Reinforcing the steep sides of modern
landfills and supporting heavy liner systems.
Major Infrastructure Support: Used in foundations and support
systems for large structures built on or near unstable slopes.
