About Product
If you’re about to lay a new pavement, reinforce raft foundations or are just creating a working platform on soft soil, DuraGrid X Geogrid is ideal for reinforcing your base course and stabilising your subgrade layers. Aggregates can compress well, but often have little tension strength, meaning they can easily shift from side to side. This becomes apparent when pavements or foundations are subjected to high impacts loads like heavy traffic or even earthquakes.
DuraGrid X is a biaxial geogrid, which means it has high tensile strength in both directions. A typical solution of laying DuraGrid X Geogrid between the subgrade and aggregate layers will effectively lock the aggregate in place, preventing any lateral movement under duress.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which application is DuraGrid X Geogrid best suited?
DuraGrid X is applicable for geogrid installation in base reinforcement applications, which includes:
- Sealed and unsealed roads
- Parking areas
- Stabilisation for yards, and multidirectional traffic areas
- Reinforcement over soft ground
- Raft foundations
Where within the aggregate should I place DuraGrid X Geogrid?
- DuraGrid X is typically laid directly on the subgrade – the soil/clay layer.
- The aggregate layers are placed and compacted on top.
- In some applications, more than one layer of DuraGrid X and aggregate can be placed.
What should I do if the soil layer is wet?
- We recommend placing a layer of non-woven geotextile such as SureTex over any areas of soil that are prone to saturation.
- This acts as a barrier, separating the soft soil and the hard aggregate layers.
- Without the geotextile, aggregate may sink into the soft soil, creating ruts or dips on the surface.
- While DuraGrid X will prevent that from happening to some degree, it’s best to prevent it from happening all together.
What sized rolls does DuraGrid X come in?
DuraGrid X comes in two strengths and sizes.
- DuraGrid X 30/30 is supplied as a 5.95m wide x 50m long roll
- DuraGrid X 40/40 is supplied as a 3.95m wide x 50m long roll
