RAUGRID - soil reinforcement
RAUGRID geogrids increase the load-bearing capacity and the safety against slip failure of earth structures
RAUGRID soil reinforcement 
- Even increase in bearing capacity through load distribution
- Shorter construction time as filling is faster
- Settlement spread over large area
- Increased protection against foundation failure
- No need for costly soil exchange
- Saving of sub-base material
- Less excavation and transport cost
- Even distribution of possible secondary settlement
- Re-use of poor soil material, easing strain on resources
- Low construction costs as compared to convention methods
- Existing bearing capacity increased
- Ecologically sound construction method
- Not susceptible to settlement
- Work can be performed without special civil engineering equipment
- Protection of mineral seal against shearing
- Tensile strength from 20 – 110 kN/m
- Roll width 5 m
- Roll length 50 and 100 m
- Reinforcement of steep slopes
- Reinforcement of sub-bases in the road construction
- Reinforcement of soil foundation
- Reinforcement of fill material beneath foundations
- Foundations reinforcement on subsoil with poor bearing capacity
- Settlement regulation, absorption of downward slope forces
