What is a Fiberglass Biaxial Geogrid?
It is a geosynthetic grid made from fiberglass strands, woven or
knitted in such a way that
it has significant and approximately equal tensile strength in two
perpendicular directions—typically
referred to as the Machine Direction (MD) and the Cross-Machine
Direction (CMD).
How Does Fiberglass Biaxial Geogrid Work?
The Key Feature: Equal Strength in Both Directions
Imagine the geogrid as a net.
A uniaxial geogrid is like a vertical fence:
it's very strong in one direction (up and down) but weak in the
other (side to side).
It's used for wall and slope faces where the primary force is in
one direction.
A biaxial geogrid is like a soccer goal net:
it's strong in both the length and the width, designed to handle
forces coming from multiple angles.

Fiberglass Biaxial Geogrid Key Benefits:
✔ Optimal Load Distribution – Reduces stress and prevents
reflective cracking
✔ Asphalt-Compatible – Bitumen-coated for superior adhesion in
paving applications
✔ High Tensile Strength – 50 kN/m in both directions (longitudinal
& transverse)
✔ Corrosion & UV Resistant – Long-lasting durability in harsh
conditions
✔ Easy Installation – Flexible, lightweight, and roll-form for
quick deployment
Fiberglass Biaxial Geogrid Applications:
1.Road and Pavement Reinforcement:
Laid on soft subgrade before placing the aggregate base course.
It reduces rutting, extends pavement life, and allows for a thinner
base layer, saving cost.
2.Soil Stabilization:
Used to build stable working platforms on very soft soils (like
clay or peat),
allowing construction equipment to operate.
3.Asphalt Overlay Reinforcement:
A specialized application where a fiberglass geogrid is embedded in
asphalt to retard reflective cracking from old pavement layers.
4.Landfill and Embankment Support:
Provides tensile strength to soil structures.
5.Parking Lots and Access Roads:
A very common application for this strength class.
Fiberglass Biaxial Geogrid Key Considerations and Potential Downsides :
Not a Fix for Structural Failure:
If your old driveway is failing due to a poor base
(e.g., sinking, severe rutting), a geogrid will not help. The
underlying base must be sound and stable.
Proper Thickness is Critical:
Paving too thin of an asphalt layer (e.g., 1.5-2 inches) over the
grid will not
provide enough material to interlock properly and can lead to
raveling (the asphalt breaking apart around the grid).
Cost:
It adds to the initial cost of the driveway project due to the
material cost and specialized installation knowledge.
Contractor Experience:
Not all asphalt contractors are familiar with the proper
installation technique for paving geogrids. It is vital to hire a
contractor who has proven experience with this specific product.
