Testing the latest generation of geogrids atInfraTech 2025

InterAx is Tensar's latest generation of geogrids. The most innovative geogrid to date was introduced simultaneously with the accompanying design software Tensar+ to quantify the benefits of InterAx. At InfraTech 2025 you can experience the added value of the design software for yourself and 'sample' the latest generation of geogrids. 

Tensar geogrids have evolved tremendously over the years, says Pieter-Jan Kamphuis, commercial technical consultant at Tensar. "The latest generation of InterAx is in a class of its own. It is absolutely the most innovative geogrid to date. And we can now back that up with real-world examples. Clients are also enthusiastic about the new product and benefit from the advantages in time, money and CO2 reduction when applying InterAx."

Optimized geometry

Twelve global teams and more than 10,000 hours of R&D led to the development of Tensar InterAx geogrid. "The optimized geometry and composition maximizes the confinement of granular material, allowing you to save on the layer thickness of the granular material, layer thickness of the asphalt and add service life," explains Pieter-Jan. "This not only saves money, but also time in application. And fewer transport movements means lower CO2 emissions." Although the new geogrid is already widely used, Pieter-Jan still visits potential clients, engineering firms and contractors on a weekly basis who want to know the ins and outs of this innovative product. "When they hear what it gives them, mainly in terms of sustainability, InterAx can even contribute to winning an EMVI project. By applying our latest geogrids, with accompanying environmental certificates (EPDs), they can get a discount on the tender due to a good MKI score and therefore win a project. And then the client is assured of a sustainable solution."

Design software

With the free road and geotechnical design software Tensar+, you can also quantify the benefits of using InterAx. "The software can be used anywhere and is always accessible online," according to Pieter-Jan. "In the application, you can design your project, retrieve the specifications and specification and see the cost savings in real time." InterAx is also a sustainable application. Should the geogrid be removed over time, Pieter-Jan says it can be easily recycled. "We have conducted tests where the geogrid is recycled and reprocessed into pellets for the production of street furniture and retaining structures." Within three to five years, Pieter-Jan expects Tensar to reach the point where even a recycled geogrid can be made from an extracted geogrid. "Then the circular circle will be complete."
