Tensar presents the webinar – Comparing Geogrids Used in Civil Construction Projects – on February 15, 2024 from 1 to 2 p.m. EST. It is free for members and non-members and you can register here.
There are dozens of geogrids and other geosynthetic products used in civil construction projects such as roadways, crane pads, working platforms, airfield runways and rail tracks. Project owners and designers need to know how to select the right geogrid for their project: how do you compare different geogrids? For example, when it comes to roadway construction, the keys are proper design and testing to validate performance. This webinar will address the issues of selecting the proper geogrid and more importantly, how to properly compare different geogrids being used on the same project.
