Working Surfaces Design Software

Tensar+ design software provides designers with the most powerful tool available for evaluating design options and optimizing performance using Tensar geogrids. This free program specializes in the stabilization of unpaved roadways and construction platforms as well as optimizing pavement designs.

Tensar+ enables users to:

• Design for a specific level of performance
• Analyze a variety of support and loading conditions and serviceability limits
• Evaluate and compare designs and costs for both unbound aggregate and mechanically stabilized aggregate layers (MSL)

Tensar+ also provides access to our popular TensarSoil software for Retaining Walls & Slopes 

Fully interactive, TensarSoil Software allows you to enter and modify the geometry of the project, the degree or design of the geogrid, additional loads and/or soil characteristics to determine stability data and material costs instantly.

Used successfully in Europe, Asia, and other regions for more than two decades, the latest version has been expanded to assess the feasibility, potential performance, and cost benefits of each of our geogrid reinforced systems, including wall systems of containment Mesa, SierraScape Systems of retaining walls and tensile temporary walls.

A Costly Mistake: Price vs. Performance

Price undoubtedly drives the bottom line, but what might seem like the cheapest option at first could cost more to install. In addition, the cheapest option could have the poorest performance, which requires additional maintenance costs in the future. Learn how high-performance Tensar geogrid can cut construction costs and future maintenance costs in this article. You can also see how various performance scenarios played out on a recent Kiewit project.

How do geogrids work? Geogrids have openings, called apertures, which allow the 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. Tensar InterAx geogrid incorporates advanced material science and optimized geometry to provide exceptional performance and value across a wide range of materials and construction applications. This creates the most efficient stabilized layer that retains stiffness over time to enhance performance. The result? You get a more cost-effective, higher-performing solution.
