How Tensar Geogrid Transforms Infrastructure Projects: Real-Life Industry Cases

Tensar geogrid has become a cornerstone in modern geosynthetics engineering, delivering exceptional soil stabilization and cost savings across diverse infrastructure projects. By reinforcing weak subgrades and minimizing aggregate use, it has revolutionized how engineers approach road construction, railway systems, and retaining walls.

I-75 Corridor Reconstruction in Ohio

One notable case is the reconstruction of the I-75 Corridor in Ohio, where Tensar geogrid was used to stabilize the subgrade for new lanes. The geogrid reduced the required aggregate thickness by 40%, saving millions in material and labor costs. Another example is the Port of Brisbane project in Australia, where geogrid reinforcement improved load-bearing capacity on soft coastal soils, enabling faster container terminal expansion without deep excavation or expensive soil replacement.

Highway Expansion in Alberta, Canada

The use of tensar geogrid also proved crucial in a highway expansion in Alberta, Canada. Engineers faced frost heave challenges and poor subgrade conditions. By incorporating multi-axial geogrids, the team enhanced the road’s durability and reduced maintenance cycles, resulting in an extended pavement life of over 20 years.

These real-life applications highlight the geogrid’s versatility in addressing soil challenges, minimizing costs, and improving long-term performance. For industries seeking sustainable infrastructure solutions, geosynthetics like Tensar remain an industry standard.
