]]> MIRAGRID GX 80/30 - High Performance Geogrid for Soil Reinforcement

MIRAGRID® GX 80/30 by SOLMAX is a premium uniaxial geogrid designed for structural soil reinforcement applications including mechanically stabilised earth (MSE) walls, steep slopes, and basal reinforcement over weak subgrades.

Manufactured from high modulus polyester yarns in a knitted structure with a protective coating, MIRAGRID GX delivers exceptional tensile strength, low elongation, and long-term durability, making it the preferred choice for engineers and contractors across South Africa and Africa.

KEY ENGINEERING BENEFITS

  • High tensile strength (80 kN/m minimum) for structural reinforcement

  • Low elongation (~10.5%) ensuring minimal deformation under load

  • Excellent creep resistance for long-term design performance

  • Optimised soil interaction with coarse granular fill

  • Durable polymer coating for chemical and environmental resistance

  • Proven global performance in infrastructure, mining, and transport projects

PRIMARY APPLICATIONS

1. Retaining Walls (MSE Structures)

  • Segmental block walls

  • Reinforced soil walls

  • Bridge abutments

MIRAGRID GX provides structural reinforcement layers that stabilize retained soil masses and allow vertical or near-vertical wall construction.

2. Steep Slopes & Embankments

  • Reinforced slopes up to 70°

  • Vegetated slope systems

  • Road and rail embankments

Geogrid reinforcement increases slope stability while enabling the use of local fill materials, reducing project costs.

3. Basal Reinforcement on Soft Soils

  • Working platforms

  • Embankments over weak ground

  • Mining haul roads

MIRAGRID GX improves bearing capacity and load distribution, enabling construction on poor ground conditions while reducing settlement.

WHY ENGINEERS SPECIFY MIRAGRID GX

  • Enables use of marginal fill material, reducing import costs

  • Faster construction vs conventional concrete structures

  • Reduced carbon footprint vs traditional retaining systems

  • Proven service life exceeding 120 years in reinforced systems

INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

  • Install on prepared, level subgrade

  • Place geogrid perpendicular to slope or wall face

  • Typical overlaps: ≥200 mm (design dependent)

  • Minimum fill thickness: ~400 mm before compaction

  • No direct trafficking on exposed geogrid

Correct installation ensures optimal load transfer and long-term performance.
