Many of the common problems faced by housebuilders can be resolved through the intelligent adoption of geogrid solutions. Their use can save money on costly aggregates and earthworks and there is scope to increase the short-term load-bearing capacity, without increasing the thickness cross-section.

Geogrid solutions can maintain performance when designs need to be evolved due to much weaker soils found at the time of construction. The solutions can allow the use of marginal or recycled soils and aggregates, which can be a by-product of brownfield regeneration. Where brownfield sites are developed, geogrid-based solutions can mitigate differential stiffness and/or settlement, cap very weak deposits, or span voids to mitigate risk due to the potential collapse in the underlying soils.

Our geogrid solutions can reduce the thickness of a haul road, compound or working platform, typically by 50%, resulting in substantially reduced construction costs and time.

They improve site health and safety, accelerate construction timescales and reduce the project’s overall environmental impact. 

Early engagement means the geogrids can be manufactured to the exact width the contractor needs, suiting the site-specific requirements and creating an even more cost-effective grid.
