Geogrid Specifications & Technical Guides

The geogrids supplied by Coleman Moore Company are primarily manufactured from polypropylene, with some configurations incorporating HDPE. These synthetic polymers provide high tensile strength with low strain, along with excellent resistance to UV radiation, soil chemicals, and mechanical damage, ensuring long-term performance in permanent civil applications.

Geogrids are used across a wide range of civil and infrastructure applications including paved and unpaved roadway construction, geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) walls and slopes, retaining walls, bridge abutments, parking lots over soft subgrades, railroads, airports, mining and logging access roads, wind farms, and landfill access roads.

By mechanically stabilizing subgrade soils, geogrids reduce the required aggregate or subbase thickness, lowering material costs and excavation volumes. This also simplifies construction sequencing and reduces equipment wear. Over the project lifespan, they extend road life and minimize maintenance intervals, delivering significant long-term cost savings.

Yes. The geogrids supplied by Coleman Moore Company meet DOT compliant specifications and satisfy project performance requirements for civil and environmental applications. They are sourced from leading manufacturers including Tensar and Huesker, whose products are widely accepted in state DOT-approved materials lists and civil engineering specifications.

Geogrids supplied by Coleman Moore Company are designed for permanent, long-term installation. Their polypropylene construction resists degradation from soil chemicals and UV exposure, and they are engineered to withstand mechanical damage during installation and operation. When properly installed, they are expected to perform for the design life of the structure — typically 75 to 100+ years.

Yes. Coleman Moore Company offers comprehensive support including strategic site evaluations, on-site DCP testing with CBR conversion for soil assessment, and integration with Tensar Plus design software for optimized pavement and aggregate thickness calculations. The team also provides product recommendations, installation consultation, and cost-benefit analysis from design stage through project completion.
