StrataGrid & StrataBase Geogrid
These high performance soil reinforcement products are ideal for structural soil support. The grids are constructed from polyester yarns that have a high molecular weight and tensile strength. These yarns are then knitted into a dimensionally stable network of apertures to form the geometric grid shape which offers tensile reinforcement to the soil in both the vertical and horizontal directions.
The geogrid is then coated with a black saturation coating to provide further chemical and mechanical benefits that preserve its durability in some of the most demanding installation settings.

Geogrid Applications: Types of Slopes
1H:1V or Flatter
What is commonly referred to as 1H:1V or flatter slopes, are slopes where proportion of the height of the rise is less than or equal to the length of the slope.
1H:1V or Steeper
These slopes are classified as slopes where the proportion of the height of the rise is higher than the length of the slope.
Embankments
Embankments represent a special class of slopes or walls where soil reinforcement is used to stabilize and construct a fill structure having a smaller footprint than what could be constructed with the soil alone. Embankment stabilization is common when constructing roadways or other structures over soft, weak foundation materials.
