Overview

As with our other Next Generation products, Tensar H-Series can reduce initial and lifecycle costs, reduce construction time, and provide sustainability benefits on a project-by-project basis.

Supported by its own Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), Tensar’s new H-Series range has been developed specifically to support sustainable product specifications.

Product Range

Tensar HX solutions are available in HX5.5, HX165, HX-L, HX-G, HX-GD and HX-GN. 

Recycling and end-of-life options

Polypropylene and high-density polyethylene, the primary materials in Tensar geogrids, are widely recyclable and versatile. They can be repurposed into numerous everyday products, such as garden furniture, bottle caps, and automotive components. Tensar is considering various options for improving the circularity of its products, including moving towards a cradle-to-cradle approach.

Tensar geogrid and geotextile products are recyclable and can be repurposed into other non-Tensar items. However, current UKCA and CE marking regulations prevent the recycling of post-consumer geosynthetics into new geosynthetics with the same functional properties.

What is Tensar H Series?

The Tensar H-Series geogrid is manufactured from an extruded polymer sheet, which is then punched and stretched. The resulting structure consists of continuous and non-continuous ribs forming three aperture geometries (hexagon, trapezoid, and triangle) and an unimpeded suspended hexagon.

H-Series geogrid uses the distinct stabilisation function as defined in ISO 10318 to minimise the movements of unbound granular material in road, rail and other trafficked areas. Extensive performance testing has demonstrated that when included as a component of a mechanically stabilised layer, the mechanical behaviour of the unbound layer is improved. For this, the product has received  European Technical Assessment (ETA).

Why choose Tensar H Series over other geogrids?

Proven Savings

Tensar's H-Series geogrid was specifically designed to provide more economical designs than our advanced InterAx geogrid, but offer higher performance than our TriAx geogrid. As a result of its greater range and distribution of aperture shapes and sizes, H-Series geogrid is designed to work well with a broad range of aggregates and granular materials that can offer additional savings through lower-cost aggregate options.

Proven Success

Successful clients and construction excellence have been Tensar's mission for over 50 years. Tensar's geogrid has been installed on countless projects across the globe, proving its value to many satisfied customers.

A Resilient Solution

Tensar geogrids are 100% UV resistant and will not rust, leach, or degrade in direct sunlight. When you build with our solutions, you can count on a higher-performing and longer-lasting solution for future generations to enjoy. Tensar's H-Series geogrid is also a proven component of protecting our infrastructure by planning for and mitigating the effects of unforeseen events, accelerating recovery.

The Ideal Solution for A Range of Applications

From stabilising working platforms to trafficked areas and railway track stabilisation, Tensar® InterAx® is ideal for use on a wide range of projects. Its sophisticated design reduces project costs and maintenance requirements whilst increasing the lifespan of pavements, railway trackbeds and other installations.
