About EnkaGrid geogrids by Enka Solutions
Geogrids are geosynthetic products of which the openings between the longitudinal and transverse ribs, called “apertures,” are larger than the ribs itself.
They are made of polyester(PET), polypropylene (PP) or polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and may be woven or knitted from yarns, or laser-welded straps.
The main function is soil reinforcement, because of the tensile strength and interlocking effect with the soil. Therefore these products are commonly used to reinforce retaining walls, as well as subbases or subsoils below roads or structures.
We offer a wide range of strong uniaxial and biaxial geogrids, designed to meet the requirements of every engineering challenge.
The engineered structure of EnkaGrid geogrids is developed through cutting-edge manufacturing concepts such as the advanced computer-controlled laser welding process. Using laser technology, the quality of the junction bonds is precisely controlled during the production process. This creates consistently rigid joints throughout the geogrid without affecting the polymer orientation or stress-strain performance of the extruded strips.
Technical data sheets with full details are available on request. We offer design support for all applications. Contact our geotechnical experts for further details.
EnkaGrid MAX C
is a high-performance and cost-effective biaxial geogrid composite used worldwide in civil engineering projects for reinforcing granular base courses and separating different soil layers. It is designed for achieving maximum bearing capacity and shear resistance. The incorporated fleece ensures long-term filtration stability and provides ideal separation of different soils ranging from clay to coarse granular fill.
Functions
• Reinforcement
• Stabilization
• Filtration
• Separation
EnkaGrid PRO
is a uniaxial geogrid of extruded polyester strips available in a number of different tensile strengths for specific applications. The highly oriented strips are laser-welded for powerful reinforcement in demanding applications. EnkaGrid PRO geogrids are available in rolls up to 5 m wide.
Functions
• Reinforcement
• Stabilization
EnkaGrid MAX
is a rigid, biaxial geogrid of extruded polypropylene or polyester strips with the same design strength in both machine and cross-machine directions. EnkaGrid MAX is available in different tensile strengths. It is available in rolls up to 5 m wide.
Functions
• Reinforcement
• Sub-base stabilization
EnkaGrid TRC
is a multifunctional geogrid composite consisting of a high-modulus low-elongation aramid fiber geogrid embedded in a nonwoven textile. EnkaGrid TRC has the same design strength in both axes. The geogrid is available in rolls of 5 m width
Functions
• Reinforcement
• Stabilization
• Separation
• Filtration
