Building embankments over soft, weak soils is one of the most demanding challenges in geotechnical engineering—where low shear strength and high compressibility can lead to excessive settlement, instability, or even shear failure. APEC’s GRIDTEXTILE® geocomposite provides high-strength base reinforcement—enhancing stability, increasing bearing capacity, and enabling safe, cost-effective construction with faster installation and long-term performance.
Inquire NowEngineers and contractors commonly face the following challenges when constructing embankments on soft subgrades including:
GRIDTEXTILE® is a high-strength geogrid composite engineered for basal reinforcement over soft subgrades. Placed at the foundation level, it delivers superior tensile strength and confinement, increasing the embankment’s resistance to shear failure in both the fill material and the underlying weak soil.
