How are geogrids made?

Geogrids mesh products are typically made from polymer materials, including polyester, polypropylene, polyethylene, or polyvinyl alcohol. They can be woven or knitted from yarns; punched into a polymer sheet; extruded through rotating die heads to create a net structure or welded from strips of material.

Punched and drawn

Molten polymer is extruded into a sheet of defined thickness and a pattern of holes is punched into the sheet. The punched sheet is then stretched in either a single direction to form a uniaxial geogrid or in two directions to form either biaxial or multi-axial geogrids.

Extruded

Molten polymer is extruded through rotating die heads each with a series of holes which allow the creation of a net type structure. The geometry of the resulting net or geogrid is dependent on the die/extrusion configuration with both uniaxial and biaxial products available.

Welded

Polymer strips are manufactured and are then bonded together to form a square or rectangular grid shape. The bonding would typically be carried out using heat.

Woven

Polymer yarns are woven or sometimes knitted together to form a net/grid-like structure. These woven products are often then coated with other polymer materials such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVC) to form a geogrid.

Geogrid/geotextile composites 

can be formed by bonding a geotextile separator fabric to the completed geogrid manufactured by the methods above.

 It is important to note that whilst the inclusion of a geogrid in a roadway or platform would be expected to have a beneficial effect, these benefits will not be the same for each grade of geogrid product. In fact, research has shown that the manufacturing method can have an influence on the expected performance of the resulting road or platform. 

Geogrid Soil Reinforcement Mesh


This geogrid is made of woven multifilament polyester grid mesh, each fiber is reinforced with coated PVC plastic.  This mesh is designed to trap gravel and aggregate soil to limit the lateral shifting of infill. By limiting this type of movement, the mesh stabilizes the entire area below the mesh reinforcing the soil.

Uniaxial and Biaxial geogrids are both commonly used for many civil structural projects such as retaining walls, and hillside stabilization projects.
