BaseGrid Geogrids for Base Stabilization

BaseGrid geogrids are biaxial polypropylene geogrids for base course reinforcement and subgrade stabilization. BaseGrid geogrids deliver strength, long-term performance, reliability and quick installation for base reinforcement of paved roads, construction haul roads, foundation reinforcement, permanent unpaved roads, working platforms on weak soils, parking areas and secondary reinforcement for soil retaining structures.

BaseGrid 11 Single Layer Geogrid

BaseGrid 11 is an integrally formed, polypropylene, bi-axial geogrid with a load transfer mechanism of positive mechanical interlock. BaseGrid 11 has an Ultimate Tensile Strength of 850 x 1,300 lb/ft.

BaseGrid 11 is an equivalent for Tensar® BX1100. Please use the "Product Comparison" tab at the top of our website. Click on the tab and then choose Tensar® BX1100 from the drop down box on the USF Product Comparison" page. A new page showing a comparison between Tensar® BX1100 and BaseGrid 11 will appear. You can those choose the "create pdf" button to save or print out the comparison. You can also choose the other Tensar® bi-axial products including BX1200, BX1300 & BX1500.

BaseGrid 11 is also an equivalent to the newly introduced Syntec SBX11 geogrid. Use the "Product Comparison" to see for yourself!

BaseGrid 12 Single Layer Geogrid

BaseGrid 12 is an integrally formed, polypropylene, bi-axial geogrid with a load transfer mechanism of positive mechanical interlock. BaseGrid 12 has an Ultimate Tensile Strength of 1,310 x 1,970 lb/ft.

BaseGrid 22 Multi-Layer Geogrid

BaseGrid 22 is constructed by welding and rolling together two layers of extruded, flexible geogrids to create a continuous sheet that will not separate. The two grids are offset before welding, creating a stable, continuous sheet with random sized apertures for improved soil interaction.

BaseGrid 33 Multi-Layer Geogrid

BaseGrid 33 is constructed by stitching together three offset layers of extruded, flexible geogrids. The result is a multi-layered, high-strength, base stabilization geogrid with random sized apertures capable of withstanding very intense loads.

The number of strands in US Fabrics' BaseGrid 22 and BaseGrid 33 grids allow for a uniform distribution of stress similar to the "root effect," making BaseGrid geogrids particularly suitable for reinforcing fine, weak soils. US Fabrics' BaseGrid base stabilization geogrids are manufactured to suit any project.

Features & Benefits

• Performance. US Fabrics' BaseGrid geogrids can reduce the required granular base fill material for paved and unpaved roads and decrease construction time significantly. US Fabrics' BaseGrid geogrids provide excellent durability and long-term performance.
• Efficiency. Large scale laboratory testing has shown that BaseGrid geogrids can increase the number of traffic loadings before failure twenty fold! With US Fabrics' BaseGrid base stabilization geogrids, longer pavement life can be expected!
• Strength. BaseGrid geogrids offer high strength at low strain and exhibit high tensile strength in both longitudinal and transverse directions, making them suitable for base course reinforcement and soil stabilization applications.
• Soil Interaction. US Fabrics' BaseGrid geogrids greatly improve geogrid interlocking capacity, efficiently distributing applied loads and preventing localized shear failure. Large scale pull-out testing has demonstrated these benefits.
• Equivalents. Use Fabric's BaseGrid geogrid line offers equivalents to the popular Tensar® BX 1100 & Tensar® BX 1200 geogrids. We also offer equivalents to Syntec SBX 11 & SBX 12 single layer bi-axial geogrids!
