The specific attributes of Enkagrid geogrids in terms of geometry and composition make them suited to a wide range of applications in geotechnology and road construction, for long working life and a high level of safety. Enkagrid is largely creep-proof, minimizing structural deformation over time.

Construction engineers trust Enkagrid: this has been proven, not only in numerous successful construction projects worldwide, but also by independent bodies testing the material and finished structures themselves.

Enkagrid geogrids are high quality construction materials, not least because they are lightweight and easy to use. A central aim in the development of Enkagrid was to develop a product that should not only prove itself once installed, but also be easy to handle on site. Enkagrid therefore is made in a width that minimizes the number of passes required. In the selection of the necessary raw materials, it was ensured they were both strong and easy to use. Enkagrid PRO polyester bars are colored to make sure this uniaxial geogrid is oriented correctly.

This is your guarantee that these geogrids are easy to position and quick to lay on site and that they can take the tension forces they are designed for permanently.



Tests conducted on the actual effective long-term tensile strength in accordance with the "Recommendations for reinforcements with geosynthetics [EBGEO]" of the "Deutsche Gesellschaft für Geotechnik" [German society of geotechnology, or DGGT] and the "Instructions for the use of geogrids in earth constructions of road buildings” of the Forschungsgesellschaft für Straßen- und Verkehrswesen [Road and transport research association, or FGSV] show that Enkagrid geogrids maintain their short-term tensile strengths long after they are installed.

As a general rule, the geogrid provides the expansion in materials required to absorb the forces involved as soon as it is installed. Enkagrid starts to act as reinforcement as soon as it is covered, optimizing the interaction between soil and geogrid and allowing structures can be put under load immediately. The time-savings compared with other reinforcement methods are enormous.
