Enkagrid PRO and MAX geogrids are reinforcement mats of solid polypropylene or polyester bars or aramid fibers. The aramid fibers of Enkagrid TRC are embedded in nonwoven filter layers.

The polyester or polypropylene bars of Enkagrid PRO and Enkagrid MAX are laser-welded together precisely to form an open, permanent and strong structure for soil reinforcement and soil stabilization. The use of highly oriented polymer bars allows Enkagrid to meet the requirements of the most demanding engineering structures. Compared with polyester or polypropylene multi-filaments, the solid bars with their low specific surface area are much more resistant to aggressive chemical attack and mechanical damage from soils.

The woven aramid fibers of Enkagrid TRC are thermally bonded into a nonwoven.
The geogrid composite combines a number of functions in a single product delivering reinforcement, separation and filtration.

The materials used in the production of Enkagrid geogrids are environmentally friendly, as they do not react chemically with their environment in any way.

When it comes to soil reinforcement and stabilization, Colbond can draw on over 20 years experience. The first flexible geogrid was launched in 1986. The experience gained since then has provided the basis for the development of today's state-of-the-art Enkagrid product family.

All Enkagrid geogrids deliver:

- Reinforcement for all soil structures
- A perfect combination of geometry and polymers to provide the ideal soil-grid
  interaction for all soil types
- Outstanding permanent mechanical strength and long-term durability
- Ease of handling and installation
- Wide range of product types to suit the specific needs or your project
- Proven design programs, a design service and technical back-up for a reliable
  effective design

The Enkagrid geogrids are divided into three groups, characterized by their main applications:

Enkagrid PRO (e.g. Enkagrid PRO 90)
- Uniaxial geogrids of extruded polyester bars
- Suitable for the reinforcement of slopes, embankments and walls with different
  facings, BBA certified and approved (British Board of Agrément)
- Available in five different tensile strengths, as a result highly economically efficient in
  use

Enkagrid MAX (e.g. Enkagrid MAX 40)
- Biaxial geogrid of extruded polypropylene or polyester bars
- Absorbs forces from dynamic and static loads
- Suitable for the stabilization of weak soils underneath paved and permanent unpaved
  roads, structural foundations or embankments
- Can help to reduce sub-base thickness by up to 30%, depending on local conditions

Enkagrid TRC (e.g. Enkagrid TRC 30)
- Multifunctional biaxial geogrid composite of high-modulus low-elongation Twaron^®
  aramid fibers embedded in a Colback^® polyester nonwoven: reinforces, separates 
  and filters
- Suitable for use in construction haul roads, parking areas or airport runways
- Outstanding stress-strain ratio to meet the most demanding requirements
- Allows thinner sub-base layers, extends structure life considerably
