Overview
TriAx gives improved aggregate confinement and interaction, leading to improved structural performance of the mechanical stabilised layer.
Tensar invented and pioneered the original biaxial form of geogrid – until now the geogrid with the best performance in trafficked applications. Through continual development and innovation, Tensar is taking the grid form in a bold new direction, achieving even greater, long-term performance benefits.
Extensive research on the biaxial geogrid has allowed Tensar to identify the key features that affect performance: rib section profile, rib thickness, junction efficiency, aperture size and – of particular importance – in-plane stiffness. This led to the radical change from rectangular to triangular grid aperture, creating a revolutionary new product: TriAx.
The triangular structure of TriAx geogrids, coupled with increased rib thickness and junction efficiency, greatly improves aggregate interlock and confinement – leading to optimal structural performance of the mechanically stabilised layer.
