Using Geogrid to Reinforce a Retaining Wall

Using Geogrid to Reinforce a Retaining Wall

If your project involves stabilizing slopes or retaining earth, you will need geogrid. Geogrid is a synthetic, flexible mesh designed for these purposes, available in various materials, strengths, and sizes. Made from woven polyester or high-tensile strength plastic, it comes in rolls and is available in both uniaxial and biaxial forms. Biaxial geogrid, most commonly used for retaining walls under 10 feet, can be rolled in both directions while maintaining its reinforcement properties, unlike uniaxial geogrid, which can only be rolled out in one direction.
