Secugrid^® geogrids can be used in a variety of ways for reinforcement of soft soils. They offer an economic, lightweight solution to different environmental conditions.

Reinforcement
When reinforcing large areas of very soft subsoils, one of the most challenging engineering aspects is to make the area suitable for traffic or construction. Combigrid^® can be placed directly on soft subsoils to immediately improve soil bearing capacity. Combigrid^® offers the advantages of two materials with the simplicity of installing a single product, as it is a composite product combining the reinforcing properties of Secugrid^® geogrids with the separation and filtration properties of Secutex^® mechanically bonded nonwoven geotextiles. When used in conjunction with a nonwoven geotextile, the robust monolithic flat bars of the Secugrid^® geogrids distribute point loading homogeneously through the grid to a larger surface area. This load distribution results in a reduction in local deformation and improves the bearing capacity of the soft subsoil. The load distribution characteristic (snow shoe) of Combigrid^®, enables placement of a mineral soil cover layer, while the separation properties of the Secutex^® geotextile ensure that the two differing soil types do not intermix.

Secugrid^® and Combigrid^® are the ideal choice when reinforcing solutions are required.
