Tensar® TriAx® Geogrids:
Proving Value on Haul Roads Across the World
An estimated one-half of all roads in the United States, and an In project after project, Tensar TriAx Geogrids have:
even higher percentage of roads throughout the world, are

aintained road surface quality – increasing
unpaved. Many of them serve as heavy-duty access and haul
operating speeds
roads for a number of applications:
˴˴ R
educed the frequency of costly and disruptive
˴˴ Mining operations surface maintenance
˴˴ Highway construction ˴˴ Reduced aggregate requirements up to 60%
˴˴ Power generation and water treatment plants ˴˴ Increased construction speeds
˴˴ Wind farms ˴˴ Reduced labor and equipment needs
˴˴ Oil drilling, refining and storage sites ˴˴ Improved internal drainage properties
˴˴ Logging operations ˴˴ E
liminated the need for costly overexcavation
˴˴ R

voided issues associated with chemical stabilization
˴˴ Landfills including weather and climatic restrictions, curing,
˴˴ Ethanol production plants uniformity, chemical solubility and environmental
and personnel safety
Growing haul road applications, diminishing and costly aggregate
supplies, tightening construction budgets and heavier wheel loads ˴˴ R
educed tire rolling resistance resulting in reduced
have forced engineers, contractors and owners to explore lower maintenance cost
cost alternatives to traditional methods of construction. One ˴˴ P

cost-effective, proven alternative has successfully stabilized solution that reduces construction truck traffic, minimizing
thousands of miles of haul roads across the world: Tensar disturbance to the terrain and the surrounding area
