Tensar Uniaxial Reinforcement Geogrids
Uniaxial geogrids reinforce soil in designed retaining walls, slopes and embankments. We supply the reinforcement and install it with the specified fill, orientation and facing connections for the structure.
Supply and construction coordination
We coordinate the specified geogrid, quantities, delivery programme and agreed installation support. Confirm grade availability and lead time in the quotation.
Inspection requirements should cover grade identification, reinforcement direction, lengths, facing connections, fill placement and compaction. Record departures from the approved layout before covering the reinforcement.
Specify the exact range and design properties
| Specification item | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| RE or UX grade | Exact manufacturer designation and current technical sheet. |
| Design tensile resistance | Design period, temperature and applicable reduction factors. |
| Fill interaction | Backfill specification, pullout and interface requirements. |
| Facing connection | Approved connector and connection design strength. |
| Construction | Orientation, spacing, length, fill lift thickness and compaction requirements. |
Ultimate tensile strength is not a substitute for long-term design resistance. Grade-specific values must be taken from the current technical documentation applicable to the project.
Applications
Uniaxial reinforcement is considered for mechanically stabilised earth walls, reinforced slopes and bridge approach structures. Wall height alone does not determine a suitable grade.
Submit surcharge and traffic loads, groundwater conditions, foundation information and the required facing. Include stability calculations and drawings where available so the supply proposal can match the design.
Why choose Uniaxial Reinforcement Geogrids?
- Reinforcement in the principal load direction
- Designed walls and steepened slopes
- Material supply and installation
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 and QA/QC
Record roll identity, reinforcement direction and location, joints, connections, fill placement and the specified compaction controls.
Use the current supplied-product procedure and the approved project inspection plan. Define responsibilities and acceptance criteria before installation.
Reinforcement selection for walls and slopes
Tensar RE and UX uniaxial grids are manufactured from selected HDPE resin using an integral punched-and-drawn structure. Product families and grades must be identified separately in procurement documents.
- Confirm the design life, temperature and durability conditions.
- Use the applicable long-term design strength and reduction factors.
- Check soil interaction and installation-damage requirements for the selected fill.
- Confirm the facing connection and the complete retaining-system details.
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.
