MIRAGRID GX Reinforcement Geogrids
MIRAGRID GX provides coated polyester reinforcement for designed retaining walls, slopes and embankments. We supply and install the specified grade with the fill and connection details required by the reinforced-soil design.
The flexible knitted structure of MIRAGRID® GX allows efficient load transfer between soil layers, improving stability in reinforced soil structures, steep embankments and high retaining systems. These geogrids are widely used in transport infrastructure, mining platforms, slope stabilisation and engineered earthworks projects throughout Africa.
Built for Retaining Walls & Steep Slopes
MIRAGRID® GX is designed for use in reinforced soil structures where stability, space efficiency and construction speed are critical. Typical applications include:
Reinforced soil retaining walls
Segmental block walls (SRW systems)
Steepened slopes
Bridge ramps and abutments
Noise bunds and earth protection structures
Mining infrastructure walls and embankments
Reinforced soil systems often reduce reliance on mass concrete structures and allow the use of suitable local fill material, improving construction efficiency and lowering project costs.

Installation and technical guidance
Design and procurement inputs
Specify long-term design strength, creep and durability reductions, installation damage, soil interaction, orientation and connection requirements for the design life.
Provide the product grade or performance specification, drawings or BOQ, quantities, site location and required date. We will define supply, delivery and any agreed installation and QA/QC responsibilities in the quotation.
Request a product-specific quotation →Installation Principles That Protect Structural Performance
Correct installation is essential for reinforced soil systems to perform as designed. Standard best-practice principles include:
Subgrade must be level, smooth and compacted before installation
Reinforcement should be oriented perpendicular to the wall or slope face unless specified otherwise
Geogrid must lie flat with no folds or slack
Direct trafficking on exposed reinforcement is not permitted
Fill should be placed by controlled back dumping
Minimum cover thickness should be achieved before compaction and trafficking
Overlap requirements must follow project design specifications
Geosynthetics South Africa supports contractors with quantity calculations, roll layouts, and installation guidance to ensure reinforcement systems are deployed correctly on site.
SELECTION · SPECIFICATION · PROJECT SUPPLY
Choose the right specification
Separate aggregate stabilisation from designed tensile soil reinforcement before choosing a grid or composite.
- For stabilisation, define subgrade, aggregate, traffic or working load and permitted deformation.
- For walls, slopes and basal reinforcement, obtain the required long-term design strength, geometry and interfaces.
- Confirm grade, orientation, joint or connection details and any separation or filtration layer.
Define the quality records
Record roll identity, reinforcement direction and location, joints, connections, fill placement and the specified compaction controls.
For a useful quotation: send the grade or performance specification, quantity, location, required date and scope. Availability, delivery and installation responsibilities are confirmed in the quotation.
