Reinforcement

Geogrids

Reduce your construction costs and time while achieving significant carbon savings with Geoworks biaxial geogrids.

Geogrids provide ground reinforcement, preventing soils from pulling apart under tension by allowing the force to be transferred to a larger area. They are ideally suited for use on haul roads, permanent roads, piling platforms, compounds and much more.

Creating a safe working environment in construction projects is of vital importance - but those initial site compounds and haul roads can have a big impact on resources for contractors, both at the project planning stage and when on site.

That’s where geogrids can prove their value as a cost effective, durable and easy-to-install method of reinforcement in groundworks, allowing force to be distributed over a larger area, reducing settlement and movement. They can reduce the thickness of haul roads and piling platforms, resulting in cost and time savings while supporting and protecting the local environment.

Our geogrids are used to reinforce soft, unstable soils and similar materials in subsoils below road structures, sub-bases and earth-retaining walls.

When granular fill is compacted over the grids, they partially penetrate and project through the apertures to create a strong and positive interlock. The load dispersal effect from the interlocking mechanism increases shearing resistance within the fill material, improving compaction and allowing the sub-base thickness to be decreased, ultimately reducing construction time and costs and increasing longevity.

Access Geowork IQ today

Geoworks IQ helps you to create fast, accurate geogrid design specifications for unpaved roads and reinforced build-ups using our TerraGrid Pro range of geogrids.

Built for ease of use and transparency in specification, it is ideally suited to engineers, specifiers, consultants, contractors and merchants, Geoworks IQ guides you through each step, then generates clear comparisons, visual build-ups and professional PDF reports.

Use it to:

  • Compare reinforced and unreinforced options
  • Identify aggregate, CO₂e, vehicle movement and project value savings
  • Create data-led specifications with greater confidence
  • Share clear reports with colleagues, customers and project teams

Cumnock SWS Power Line Upgrade

Geoworks supported AMEC in delivering temporary stone access roads for the South West Scotland Connections Project, a major infrastructure scheme enabling new renewable energy sources to connect into Scotland’s transmission network. The works included over 47 km of overhead power lines across challenging and remote terrain, requiring access routes capable of supporting varying construction traffic and ground conditions.
