MIRAGRID® GX are knitted geogrids made from polymer-coated, high-tenacity polyester yarns with a flexible structure for effective interlock and soil interaction. It offers high tensile strength with low creep and minimal elongation, along with excellent chemical resistance for reliable soil reinforcement.
It is suitable for use with a wide range of fill materials, from clay and sand to well-graded aggregates with a maximum particle size of 65 mm. The wide range of testing with these fill types allow the geogrid to be used for slopes and walls, as well as basal reinforcement for embankments.

FUNCTION
Reinforcement
Geosynthetics provides additional strength to soils and aggregate. Used to reinforce steep slopes, and to stabilise road or rail construction over weak and variable soils. Enables embankments to be constructed over very soft foundations and to build slopes at steeper angles than would be possible with unreinforced soil. Geosynthetics (or geogrids) are also used to bridge over voids that may develop below load bearing granular layers (roads and railways) or below cover systems in landfill applications.
