When you use geogrid with a retaining wall the mass of the blocks and the additional mass of the reinforced soil helps to withstand the pressures behind the wall.
Retaining wall geo grid.
Eliminate any folds or looseness in the geogrid by pulling tight and staking at the back.
Earthlock retaining wall geogrid with tensar ux technology is designed to easily and efficiently reinforce soil slopes rss and segmental block retaining walls srws.
Backfill and compact the soil to 95 standard proctor.
Geogrid is an open mesh grid structure that is placed in horizontal layers to reinforce retaining walls.
Stratagrid can also be used to reinforce permanent retaining walls that are faced using segmental retaining wall concrete blocks.
The largest segmental retaining wall installer in california.
Always backfill and compact one course of block at a time.
By increasing the length of geogrid in the wall you increase the mass of the structure and.
We provide many engineering and aesthetic solutions for permanent retaining walls faced with either indigenous vegetation or crushed stone.
This combined mass is what allows very tall walls to be built when using geogrid.
Installed in layers between wall courses and extending into the soil behind a wall geogrid stabilizes the soil and so extends the retaining capacity of the wall.
When is geogrid needed in a retaining wall.

Repeat process until retaining wall is completed.
The geogrid holds the soil in place to allow the retaining wall to function.
It is manufactured using select grades of high density polyethylene hdpe resins that resist elongation or creep when subjected to high loads for long periods of time.
Benefits adds strength and longevity to retaining walls provides excellent.
Our system of geogrid and welded wire form provide long term stability.
Adding geogrid to a retaining wall recruits the retained soils as helpers in retention essentially making the retaining wall far more massive than the weight of the block or stone alone.
When grid is needed depends on the wall building material but also the soils being retained.
