Soil Reinforcement

Geosynthetics and geogrids in particular are used as reinforcement if the subsoil or substructure is weak or if the soil of steep slopes or walls is not stable enough. Reinforcing geosynthetics absorb shear forces in the soil, improving the mechanical characteristics of earthworks.

Applications for geogrids:
Installation of geogrids for soil stabilization in road construction reduces the thickness of mineral sub bases and saves on expensive soil replacement; soil reinforcement in earthworks.



With Enkagrid, Colbond offers a wide range of geogrids for the improvement, stabilization and reinforcement of most kinds of soils.
