Productivity suffers when well sites are built on sub-standard soils or downpours and winter thaws leave access roads a wet, rutted mess. Also, long-term pad performance and reduced maintenance costs are even more important today since there is repeated, heavier traffic on almost every pad. Fortunately, TriAx Geogrid technology significantly improves on-site soils by stabilizing the ground. By stabilizing the soils under access roads and well pads, bearing capacity is greatly improved and your operation can bear heavier loads while continuing to perform for longer periods of time.
TriAx Geogrid is the most advanced type of geogrid due to its triangular apertures and high profile ribs. The triangular shape allows loads to be spread over a wider area, lessening the impact of repeated and heavily-loaded traffic. Using Triax will mean less differential settlement and less ponding of water on virtually every site.

Tensar has designed a "Subgrade Improvement Pocket Card" that allows you to visually estimate subgrade strength. You can also use it to quickly determine your cost to improve the subgrade by using
common methods like over-excavation, geotextile and geogrid.

All-weather, uninterrupted access to, from and around your well site, compressor stations, tank batteries, and laydown yards can be a reality. TriAx Geogrid is used in oil and gas construction to cost-effectively stabilize the soil that supports your structures and traffic. This significantly improves the performance and longevity of these surfaces, while drastically reducing your fill, haul and water requirements. And, because surfaces stabilized with TriAx Geogrid can support heavier loads, they continue to perform for longer periods of time and with less maintenance, ultimately saving you time and money.
How do geogrids work? Geogrids have openings, called apertures, which allow aggregate to strike through and provide confinement and interlock. Geogrids can improve the long-term performance of paved and unpaved roadways by minimizing aggregate movement and maintaining modulus values.
