Eliminate any folds or looseness in the geogrid by pulling tight and staking at the back.
Retaining wall geo grid.
The largest segmental retaining wall installer in california.
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.
The geogrid acts as a tie back to resist the outward movement of the retained soil.
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.
We provide many engineering and aesthetic solutions for permanent retaining walls faced with either indigenous vegetation or crushed stone.
When is geogrid needed in a retaining wall.
When grid is needed depends on the wall building material but also the soils being retained.
Geogrid is a geosynthetic material commonly made of one or more polymers that is used to reinforce soil behind retaining walls.
Stratagrid can also be used to reinforce permanent retaining walls that are faced using segmental retaining wall concrete blocks.
By increasing the length of geogrid in the wall you increase the mass of the structure and.
Retaining wall geogrid srw geogrid is composed of high molecular weight high tenacity multi filament polyester yarns that are woven into a stable network placed under tension and coated with pvc.
Always backfill and compact one course of block at a time.
Keep an adequate cushion of soil between the geogrid and equipment.
Repeat process until retaining wall is completed.
Our system of geogrid and welded wire form provide long term stability.
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.
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.
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.
