]]> MIRAGRID PEC 55/55 - Engineered Geocomposite for Subgrade Stabilisation

MIRAGRID® PEC 55/55 is a biaxial reinforcement geocomposite designed to stabilise weak subgrades and improve load distribution in road, mining, and civil infrastructure applications.

It combines:

  • High modulus polyester geogrid (reinforcement)

  • Continuous filament nonwoven geotextile (separation & filtration)

This dual-function design makes it the preferred solution for subgrade stabilisation, eliminating the need for separate geogrid and geotextile layers.

WHY ENGINEERS SPECIFY MIRAGRID PEC

  • Reinforcement + separation in one engineered product

  • Reduces layer thickness and construction time

  • Improves load distribution over weak subgrades

  • Controls rutting and deformation under traffic

  • Performs effectively with fine-grained or marginal fills

  • Reduces requirement for imported high-quality aggregates

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Subgrade Stabilisation

  • Roads and highways

  • Mining haul roads

  • Access roads

  • Rail formations

Working Platforms

  • Construction platforms over weak soils

  • Crane pads and laydown areas

Basal Reinforcement

  • Embankments over soft ground

  • Platforms over compressible soils

Civil & Infrastructure

  • Road widening over weak subgrades

  • Industrial yards and logistics platforms

PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGES

  • Increased bearing capacity of weak subgrades

  • Reduced differential settlement

  • Improved trafficking performance

  • Faster construction with fewer layers

  • Cost savings through reduced aggregate requirements
