MacGrid® WG for soil reinforcement

(75 years)
MacGrid® WG geogrids are used for soil reinforcement, made from high molecular weight, high tenacity polyester multifilament
yarns. The yarns are woven under tension in the machine direction and finished with a PVC coating. MacGrid® is engineered to be
mechanically and chemically durable, and resistant to biological degradation. MacGrid® WG series geogrids can be combined with
soil bioengineering techniques such as brush layering, Green Gabions TM and EnviroLogTM to provide the structural strength within
an environmentally integrated system.

NOTES:
1. Minimum Average Roll Values (MARV) represent a 97.5% confidence level, calculated as the mean minus two standard deviations. Fifty percent of test values will
exceed the typical values listed below.
2. Creepage Reduction factor used to determine the LTDS has been evaluated at breakage.
3. Long Term Allowable Design values are for sand.
