What are Geogrids?
Geogrids are engineered geosynthetics primarily used for the stabilisation and reinforcement of soils. They are made from polymer materials such as polypropylene or polyester and feature a grid-like structure that provides high tensile strength and stiffness.
Naue’s geogrids, such as the Secugrid® range, are designed to increase the load-bearing capacity and strength of soils by distributing loads evenly and reducing soil deformation. These properties make them ideal for applications in road construction, railway construction, dam and dike construction, as well as for general soil stabilisation and erosion control.
Applications:
- Road Construction: Enhances the performance and lifespan of pavements.
- Railway Construction: Increases the stability of track beds and reduces maintenance costs.
- Slope Protection: Prevents soil erosion and landslides.
- Retaining Walls: Reinforces retaining structures and prevents collapses.
- Environmental Protection: Used in landfill liners and cover systems.
Advantages:
- High Tensile Strength: Exceptional durability and performance under high loads.
- Long-term Stability: Resistant to environmental influences and chemical exposure.
- Easy Installation: Quick and efficient placement, reducing construction time and costs.
- Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications and soil types.
- Sustainability: Significant CO2 savings compared to comparable construction methods using lime stabilization or concrete.
Naue’s Geogrid Products:
Laid geogrids made of stretched, monolithic polyester (PET) or polypropylene (PP) flat or profile bars with welded junctions. Secugrid® geogrids combine high stiffness and low creep tendency with extreme robustness.
Combigrid® is a composite of a laid geogrid made of stretched, monolithic flat bars with welded junctions and a mechanically bonded and calendered filter geotextile welded within the geogrid structure. Combigrid® is used for stabilisation and reinforcement of soils in many fields of infrastructure, environmental protection, and hydraulic engineering applications.
They are laid geogrids made of high tenacity polyester filaments with an extruded polyethylene protective coating and welded junctions. Secugrid® HS combines high tensile strength and low creep tendency with extreme robustness and resistance. Secugrid® HS was developed specifically for geotechnical applications in earthworks where tensile strengths of more than 400 kN/m are required.
The Naue m3 systems for reinforced slope and retainig wall systems stand for high load-bearing capacity, stability and performance.

The Role of Geogrids in Geotechnics and Construction
Geogrids play an essential role in modern geotechnics and construction. Made from a network of polymers, they are employed in various sectors such as road construction, slope stabilisation, and foundation engineering. Their primary function is to stabilise soft or unstable substrates and reinforce the subgrade.
By locking the fill material within their structure, geogrids improve load distribution, reduce settlements, and increase the soil’s load-bearing capacity. They effectively contribute to erosion control and the prevention of soil slippage. Utilising geogrids can avoid costly soil replacement works and shorten construction times, making them a cost-efficient and environmentally friendly alternative in the contemporary construction industry
