Description
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.

Supply, delivery and installation across Africa
Geosynthetics South Africa undertakes projects through three service options:
- Supply only - products supplied to the agreed specification.
- Supply and delivery - materials and logistics coordinated to your project site.
- Supply, delivery and QA/QC-controlled installation - one coordinated scope from procurement to documented handover.
For projects across Africa, we coordinate with the Geosynthetics Africa Group to mobilise installation crews from group companies across the continent. Materials, delivery, mobilisation and project-specific quality records are agreed as part of the project scope.

Supply, delivery & installation
South African supply
We are the South African supplier of MIRAGRID GX uniaxial geogrids. We have ready stock of standard grades and formats for South African projects.
Delivery & cross-border supply
We supply MIRAGRID GX uniaxial geogrids across South Africa and Southern Africa, including cross-border delivery. We coordinate site access, unloading and cross-border documentation for your order.
How we install
We install MIRAGRID GX uniaxial geogrids. Prepare the formation and treat soft areas identified by the engineer. Lay geogrids in the designed reinforcement direction, connect or overlap them as specified and remove slack. Place suitable fill in controlled lifts and compact without direct plant trafficking on exposed grid.

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.
