PVC Coated Polyster Geogrid

Maruti Geogrid is a high-performance PVC-coated polyester geogrid reinforcement system engineered to enhance the structural stability and load-bearing capacity of soils and granular materials in demanding civil engineering and infrastructure projects. Designed for long-term performance, it combines high tensile strength, low elongation characteristics, and excellent soil interaction properties, making it an effective solution for ground stabilization, soil reinforcement, and load distribution.

Manufactured using high-tenacity polyester (PET) yarns, the geogrid is woven into a stable grid structure and subsequently coated with Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). This protective coating enhances the geogrid’s resistance to mechanical damage, ultraviolet radiation, chemical exposure, biological degradation, and environmental weathering, ensuring consistent performance even in harsh field conditions. The result is a durable and dimensionally stable reinforcement material capable of delivering long-term structural integrity with a design service life ranging from 75 to 120 years.

Maruti Geogrid is engineered to deliver reliable long-term performance in challenging infrastructure environments.

High Tensile Strength: The polyester yarn reinforcement provides exceptional tensile strength, enabling the geogrid to resist deformation under heavy loads.

Low Elongation: Minimal elongation ensures that the geogrid mobilizes reinforcement quickly under load, maintaining structural stability and preventing excessive deformation.

Excellent Soil Interlock: The open grid geometry allows aggregate particles to interlock effectively within the apertures, creating strong mechanical bonding with surrounding materials.

Long-Term Durability: The PVC coating protects the geogrid from environmental degradation, ensuring consistent performance throughout its design life.

Chemical and Biological Resistance: Maruti Geogrid exhibits high resistance to chemicals, bacteria, fungi, and soil microorganisms, making it suitable for use in aggressive soil environments.

UV Stability: The protective coating shields the polyester fibers from ultraviolet radiation, allowing the geogrid to withstand exposure during installation and service.

Extended Design Life: With proper installation and design conditions, Maruti Geogrid can achieve a service life of up to 120 years, making it suitable for critical infrastructure projects.

Structural Integrity

  • Protects soil and structures (retaining walls, slopes, embankments, foundations) from deterioration.
  • PVC coating resists chemicals, moisture, UV, bacteria, and root damage.
  • Maintains load-bearing capacity even in harsh conditions.

Pavement Performance

  • Reinforces subgrade and base layers for stronger, longer-lasting roads.
  • Distributes loads evenly, reducing rutting, cracking, and subgrade failure.
  • Cuts down base thickness requirements while preventing stress and crack propagation.

Rail Track Support

  • Reinforces and stabilizes ballast for 25+ years.
  • Reduces settlement, deformation, and ballast wear under train loads.
  • Maintains track geometry and extends maintenance cycles by up to 3x.

Maruti Geogrid is produced through a carefully controlled manufacturing process designed to maximize tensile strength and dimensional stability.

The core reinforcement element consists of high-tenacity polyester yarns, which are arranged in a grid pattern to create strong longitudinal and transverse ribs. These yarns provide the geogrid with exceptional tensile capacity while maintaining minimal elongation under load, which is critical for maintaining soil reinforcement efficiency.

Once the grid structure is formed, it is coated with a protective PVC layer that performs several essential functions:

  • Protects the polyester fibers from environmental degradation
  • Enhances abrasion resistance during installation and service
  • Improves durability under mechanical stress and cyclic loading
  • Prevents moisture penetration and microbial attack

The combination of polyester reinforcement and PVC coating results in a robust, flexible, and highly durable geogrid system suitable for both temporary and permanent infrastructure applications.

Maruti Geogrid is widely used across various geotechnical and civil engineering applications where soil reinforcement and structural stability are required.

Road and Pavement Construction: Geogrids are commonly installed within base and sub-base layers to improve load distribution, reduce pavement thickness requirements, and prevent rutting in flexible pavements.

Retaining Walls: In reinforced soil retaining wall systems, geogrids act as tensile reinforcement elements that stabilize soil masses and enable the construction of steep or vertical retaining structures.

Embankments: Geogrids enhance the stability of embankments constructed over weak or compressible soils by increasing shear resistance and reducing settlement.

Railway Infrastructure: They are used beneath ballast layers to improve load distribution, reduce ballast degradation, and maintain track stability under repetitive train loads.

Slope Stabilization: Geogrids reinforce soil slopes by increasing internal stability and preventing slope failures caused by erosion or soil displacement.

Subgrade Stabilization: In areas with weak or soft subgrade soils, geogrids provide structural reinforcement that increases bearing capacity and reduces the risk of pavement deformation.
