| Schematic example | BACK | |||||||||
 An embankment on soft soil may undergo excessive settlements, with consequent crackings in the body or even a shear failure. |
 TENAX geogrids and geocomposites provide base stiffening and drainage adequate to stabilize an embankment on soft and saturated soil. |
 The TENAX GEORAFT System provide lateral confinement and tensile strength to a thick layer of aggregate, thus producing a stiff platform on which the embankment rests stable. |
