Development of geogrids began in 1979 at the request of the U.S. Army. The material is used for years in Europe, America, the Middle and Far East in the construction of roads, dams, canals, dams, retaining walls, pipes and any other equipment requiring a stable foundation and resistance to the elements.

Geogrid is a kind of geosynthetics, which in itself is a two or three dimensional cellular structure in a “honeycomb” form made by needle loom polyester, polyethylene or polypropylene band, fastened and welded to each in a high strength. Superimpose on the ground the cells are filled with inert materials ( soil, sand, gravel, fraction) or concrete and with a minimum material consummation, significant increase portability of the base. This in turn leads to significanly redice time and cost of building roads, alleys, sidewalks and parking lots.

Thrace Group biaxial geogrids are manufactured from polypropylene (PP) sheets using the extrusion method of punching a pattern of holes, followed by stretching under controlled temperature in both directions in order to increase the material’s tensile characteristics.
