Tensar® SS geogrids are used in the stabilisation of soils and aggregates in the construction of structures such as roads, working platforms and foundations. Can also be used as secondary reinforcement in reinforced soil slopes.
The geogrids provide superior ground stabilisation because when granular particles are compacted over these grids, they rest in the open apertures and interact with the thick, stiff ribs of the geogrid, immobilising the particles under load.

Tensar SS Geogrids have been used around the world, under a wide variety of climates and soil conditions to solve difficult ground stabilisation or site access problems.
WHY CHOOSE TENSAR SS GEOGRIDS?
- Two primary directions of strength and stiffness
- Efficiently interlocks with granular materials
- Reduces aggregate layer thickness
- Increases pavement life
- Controls differential settlement
- Proven technology
Tensar SS Geogrids have largely been superseded by the revolutionary technology of TriAx™. Tensar TriAx Geogrid offers the user improved performance, providing even more substantial cost savings. Discover more about TriAx™ by clicking here.
Tensar SS Geogrids have been given accreditation by a number of independent government and other certifying agencies and are manufactured in accordance with Quality and Environmental Management Systems.
The installation of Tensar SS geogrid is straightforward with the geogrid able to be rolled out directly over the subgrade having removed any major protrusions such as rocks or tree stumps.
APPLICATIONS
FUNCTION
Stabilisation
Improvement of the mechanical behaviour of an unbound granular material by including one or more geosynthetic layers such that deformation under applied loads is reduced by minimising movement of the unbound granular material. Stabilisation geosynthetics are predominantly applicable to the improved performance of bases and subbases of trafficked areas such as roadways, railways, airfields, and working platforms.
