Encon adds global supplier TenCate for geosynthetic solutions from stock

Encon Construction Products, a specialist distribution division of The Encon Group, expands its range of market leading brands with the addition of global geosynthetic supplier TenCate, and its Miragrid GX and GX T geogrids, available from Encon’s nationwide branches. 

Miragrid is a geosynthetic product composed of high modulus polyester fibres that are knitted in a flat orientation and covered with a protective polymeric coating. The biaxial geogrids are manufactured from engineered materials and ideal for subgrade stabilisation and base reinforcement applications. 

Miragrid GX is mostly used in the construction of roads and railways, for slope reinforcement in landfill and for retaining structures. The range includes tensile strengths of 30/30, 40/40, 55/55 and 80/80 and is available in 100m lengths.

Miragrid GX T is suitable for short and long term soil reinforcement applications. Tensile strengths include 20/20, 30/30 and 40/40 in 50m lengths and 20/20 in 100m length.
