MIRAGRID PEC 55/55 Biaxial Geocomposite – Subgrade Stabilisation & Basal Reinforcement (5.3m x 100m)
R30,000
MIRAGRID® PEC 55/55 is a biaxial geocomposite combining high modulus polyester geogrid reinforcement with a continuous filament nonwoven geotextile backing. It is engineered for subgrade stabilisation, working platforms, and basal reinforcement where both load distribution and separation are required in a single layer.
Description
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
