Soil Stabilization
Geogridds are used in soft soil stabilization applications to help facilitate the more efficient and predictable stabilization of poor soils for future construction projects.

Tenax MS220 and MS330 geogrids are composed of two and three layers of high strength, extruded biaxially oriented polypropylene grid, respectively. The layers are designed to accomodate find-grained, cohesive and non-cohesive fills as well as small sized random fill.

Base Reinforcement
In base reinforcement applications such as paved or unpaved roads, geogrids are used to provide reinforcement and confinement to base course materials.

Stress Transfer Mechanisms
Multiple Layers - Because of the multiple layers, Tenax MS series geogrids provide a three dimensional separation effect not provided by any other geogrid. This effect keeps the fill material where it belongs. If the fill does get by the top layer, the other layers prevent any further micration.

Variable Apertures - The aperture geometry of Tenax multi-layered geogrids is purposely designed to be variable. This is done to increase the interaction and compatibility between the geogrid reinforcement and fill materials with wide ranges of particle size distribution.

Applications
Tenax MS220 and MS330 geogrids distribute applied loads over a greater area reducing vertical pressure on the subgrade. This allows for a longer design life compared with a similar unreinforced section. If designing for a specific lifetime, this allows for significant reductions in base course thickness.

Also Available: Tendrain Triplanar Geocomposites
For extending pavement and road life Tendrain has:
 · Great compressive stiffness to support traffic
 · Rapid fluid transmission characteristics, equivalent to free draining    base
 · Significant air void to provide a positive capillary break
 · Ready availability and is easy to install

For creating an innovative leak detection system for landfills and waste water retention systems, Tendrain provides:
 · Unconfined flow contion
 · Less hydrostatic pressure
 · Rapid leak detection
 · High action leakage rate
