Stop Throwing Stone at the Problem: How Geogrids Reduce Aggregate Needs and Improve Load Distribution

Engineers often default to adding more aggregate when faced with soft subgrades—but that’s not always the most efficient fix. Geogrids offer a smarter way to stabilize weak soils and reduce material volumes. Learn how to design leaner sections that perform better and cost less. The Problem with Over-Reliance on Aggregate When subgrade support is poor, … Read more

Sustainable Infrastructure Starts with Smarter Design — And Geogrids Deliver Both

Geogrids help you meet carbon reduction goals without compromising performance or blowing budgets. Smarter subgrade reinforcement means fewer materials, faster installs, and longer-lasting infrastructure. If you’re specifying for sustainability and reliability, geogrids are a proven way to deliver both. The Specifier’s Dilemma: Carbon vs Cost vs Performance As a civil or design engineer, you’re often … Read more

Simplify Soil-Structure Interaction: How Geogrids Help Engineers Design with Confidence

Geogrids help you reduce uncertainty in soil-structure interaction modeling — without overcomplicating your design. They deliver predictable performance, simplify analysis, and improve constructability. If you’re specifying materials, geogrids give you the confidence to design faster and smarter. Why Soil-Structure Interaction Is a Design Headache Soil-structure interaction (SSI) is one of the most complex and time-consuming … Read more

Settlement Risk Is Real — Here’s How Geogrids Help You Design for Long-Term Stability

Settlement risk can compromise your design’s performance and reputation. Geogrids offer a proven way to control post-construction movement and extend service life. This guide shows how you can confidently design for long-term stability using geogrids. Why Settlement Risk Is a Design Liability Settlement is one of the most persistent and underestimated risks in civil design. … Read more

Fast-Tracking Construction on Soft Ground: How InterAx Geogrids Improve Buildability and Speed

Soft ground shouldn’t stall your schedule or inflate your budget. InterAx geogrids give you faster buildability, better load support, and fewer surprises. If you’re specifying ground improvement solutions, this is how you stay ahead of delays. The Problem: Soft Ground and Its Impact on Your Projects Soft or weak subgrades are one of the most … Read more

Overdesigning to Stay Safe? Use Geogrids to Optimize Section Thickness Without Compromising Performance

Many engineers overbuild because soil data is incomplete or unreliable. Geogrids allow you to reduce section thickness while maintaining load support and long-term durability. This means lower material costs, faster installation, and better-performing designs—without compromising safety. The Real Cost of Overdesign When you’re working with limited or uncertain soil data, it’s natural to lean conservative. … Read more
