BaseGrid Geogrids for Base Stabilization

BaseGrid geogrids are biaxial, punched and drawn 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.

When constructing roadways over a relatively firm subgrade, BaseGrid biaxial geogrids provide a predictable and reliable level of performance to enhance pavement life and may reduce required aggregate and or pavement thickness. The high tensile strength and junction efficiency of BaseGrid biaxial geogrids confine and restrain aggregate from lateral movement. This distributes the applied load over the subgrade to a larger area resulting in a thinner pavement cross section, a longer service life or a combination of both.

Don't be fooled by all the new "tri-axial" or "multi-axial" products. Biaxial, punched and drawn geogrids have been the standard for decades, delivering excellent performance in millions of projects.

BaseGrid 11 (Type 1) 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 to Tensar® BX1100. Use the "Product Comparison" to see for yourself!

BaseGrid 12 (Type 2) 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 12 is an equivalent for Tensar® BX1200. Use the "Product Comparison" to see for yourself!

BaseGrid 13 & BaseGrid 15 Single Layer Geogrids

US Fabrics also has equals to the other Tensar® bi-axial products including BX1300 & BX1500.

  • Flexible
  • Improved Soil Interaction
  • High Strength
  • Withstands Intense Loads
  • Uniformed Stress Distribution
  • Works Well with Weak Soils
  • 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.
