In traditional wrapped face soil reinforced slopes
The strength of ParaGrid is provided by polyester fibres aligned in a linear orientation, which are then encased in a tough polyethene sheath. This tough sheathing gives industry-leading resistance to installation damage, and chemical and biological attacks and delivers favourable partial factors of safety in the design process.
ParaGrid® geogrids have BBA Certification with a design life of up to 120 years.
Their ribbon-like shape offers excellent interaction with many soil types. When designed appropriately, it enables the reuse of more cohesive site-won fills within the construction works, thereby embracing sustainability and reducing waste.
