High strength ParaLink® geogrids, offering high strength with very low strain characteristics, used in conjunction with the piles, can take the place of the embankment foundation slab. These grids are placed in a single layer within a granular raft, immediately in contact with the pile caps. 

The grids, with a design life in excess of 120 years, work in conjunction with the soils, to absorb the forces transmitted from the embankment above and transfer them vertically into the supporting piles. The presence of the ParaLink® enhances the overall piled embankment performance; the result is that the piles can be spaced wider apart, reducing costs.

One of our greatest successes is with our BBA Certified, ultra-high strength geogrid Paralink®, with strengths up to 1,600 kN/m. Through the introduction of ParaLink® into piled embankments,  pile spacings can be increased, leading to project cost savings as the number of piles can be reduced.

ParaLink® delivers long-term structural reinforcement of soils where the performance of the geogrid is required throughout the design life of the structure;

  • Unidirectional strengths from 200 to 1,600kN/m

  • BBA & NTPEP Certified, 120-year design life UKCA Marked and EPD Certified

  • Soil-reinforcing low-creep polymer yarns are protected by the toughest geogrid sheathing in the market providing unparalleled resistance to the environment

  • Produced in ISO9001:2015 & ISO14001:2018 certified factories
