Wrekin introduces new rationalized geogrid range
January 3rd, 2024
With the Construction Products Association (CPA) predicting that infrastructure construction output is only expected to fall marginally, Wrekin Products is using this time to invest in its biaxial geogrid product range. To support current high work levels, Wrekin’s premium E’GRID and SX Grid biaxial geogrid product range has been refined from 11 to six products. The change means greater clarity of […]
Redi-Rock reinforced retaining wall solution used for difficult development site
November 23rd, 2023
The Sembler Company, known for shopping developments across the United States, was re-developing an outdated shopping center near the upscale Sandy Springs, Ga., community. As part of the project, the former development was completely razed. In its place, a 345,000-square-foot (32,052 square meter) redevelopment project was being built. "This thing goes from 992-foot (302.4 meter) […]

Leveraging soil nail technology for MSE retaining wall
October 10th, 2023
Figure 1 The repair involved installing a matrix of grouted soil nails varying from 15 to 40 feet long in a pattern along the many faces of the 610-foot-long wall. The Domain at Phipps Plaza is a luxury condominium development in the well-traveled and populated urban area of Buckhead in Atlanta, Ga. This 319-unit mid-rise […]
Combigrid applications for geogrid/geocomposite in pavement construction
August 10th, 2023
Geogrid reinforcement and stabilization is used in roadways in two major applications: base reinforcement/stabilization and subgrade stabilization. In base reinforcement/stabilization, the geogrid is placed within or at the bottom of a pavement system to improve the load-carrying capacity and reduce the deformation of the pavement under repeated traffic as well as help control expansive subgrade […]
Wrekin introduces new geogrid
May 8th, 2023
Wrekin Products’ new SX Composite 3030 consists of nonwoven geotextile thermally bonded to its existing SX geogrid. Developed with contractor feedback in mind, it combines the functions of reinforcement, separation and filtration into one product, rather than having to use two separate solutions. The solution will help save time when acquiring materials and achieve quicker […]
Redi-Rock walls aid in innovative sewer and storm water solution
March 8th, 2023
During the 19th century, early settlers to Cincinnati, Ohio, followed the Lick Run valley and stream to settle in the developing city along the Ohio River. To control flooding in the area, the stream was enclosed in a 20-foot-diameter storm sewer in 1893. Soon after, during the advent of indoor plumbing, homes were tied into […]
Rail infrastructure resilience starts with a geogrid-stabilized track
January 3rd, 2023
Imagine hauling the Great Pyramid of Giza once a month across the same track over 32 years. That is how much weight has crossed a Tensar geogrid-stabilized segment of railbed in Mobile Bay, Ala., during that time. To translate into today's terms, that's 40-foot intermodal containers packed to capacity, stacked four-high, lined up end-to-end and […]
Evaluating the benefits of geogrid in foundation applications with onsite testing
November 1st, 2022
A key challenge in getting geosynthetics more widely accepted in the industry is to use them not only on keynote projects, but smaller, everyday projects. To do this, we must help design engineers quantify the benefits of the geosynthetic and this is especially applicable in the stabilization application. In the geosynthetics industry, all major suppliers […]
