Composite product family combining confinement properties of geogrid with added assurance of a nonwoven geotextile
Tensar FilterGrid™ represents an innovative marriage of geosynthetic materials, combining the superior stabilization properties of Tensar’s TriAx® geogrid with the separation and filtration benefits of a nonwoven geotextile. This composite product addresses the dual needs often encountered in challenging soil conditions: the stabilization of aggregate layers and the separation of fine-grained subgrade soils from granular materials.

Developed in response to situations where both geogrid and geotextile are required, FilterGrid™ allows for a single-step installation process, saving time and labor on construction sites. The product maintains the full interlock capability of the TriAx® geogrid with aggregate materials, ensuring that the stabilization function is not compromised. Meanwhile, the attached nonwoven geotextile provides reliable separation and filtration, preventing the migration of fine soil particles while allowing water to pass through.
