Biaxial Geogrid: Reliable Load Distribution for Soil Stabilization and Pavement Support
Biaxial geogrids offer a high-performance solution for soil stabilization by distributing heavy loads evenly across soft or unstable subgrades. This mechanism functions similarly to how a snowshoe spreads a person’s weight across snow, reducing pressure points and preventing sinking. Contractors and engineers use biaxial geogrids to build stronger, longer-lasting surfaces while reducing material costs and construction time.
The unique interlocking structure of biaxial geogrids enhances load-bearing capacity by confining aggregate, increasing shear strength, and reducing differential settlement. This structural reinforcement leads to more consistent compaction, improved pavement life, and less need for undercutting or deep excavation.
You’ll find biaxial geogrids used in a variety of applications:
- Municipal and provincial roadways
- Highways and freeway subgrades
- Parking areas and commercial lots
- Airport taxiways and runways
- Temporary construction access roads
- Industrial and port facilities
One of the key benefits of using biaxial geogrids is the reduction in aggregate use, which lowers material costs and contributes to more sustainable infrastructure practices. This aligns with Canada’s push for resilient and efficient transportation networks.
