GEOGRIDS SPECIFICATIONS
Maccaferri Geogrids series is multilayer Geogrids consist of high strength extruded biaxially oriented polypropylene geogrids. The layers are rolled and stitched together without superimposing the meshes creating a Geogrid with random sized apertures designed to accommodate a variety of fill materials. The random aperture geometry, many tensile elements and multiple layers of the Geogrid enhance soil/Geogrid interaction. Maccaferri Geogrids greatly improve the geogrid interlocking capacity, distribute applied loads, and prevent localized shear failure. Typical applications: - Soft soil stabilization - Base reinforcement - Embankments over weak soils - Working platforms - Haul roads

MULTILAYER BI-ORIENTED GEOGRIDS
Maccaferri geogrid is composed of two layers of high strength extruded biaxially oriented polypropylene geogrids.
