Find the Right Design for Your Project

Tensar+ allows you to calculate the total value of each design alternative, including conventional construction. Tensar+ incorporates the benefits of Tensar geogrids into accepted design methodologies, based on rigorous full-scale testing and validation by third-party experts.

With Tensar+ foundations construction software, you can:

CheckmarkEvaluate and optimize performance of roadways and other site works over a variety of subgrade conditions

CheckmarkGenerate custom specifications and reports with construction design tools

CheckmarkShare your design with colleagues directly from the software platform for improved collaboration

CheckmarkDetermine initial and lifecycle cost savings, time savings, and sustainability metrics

CheckmarkEasily compare design alternatives, including geotextiles, geogrids and conventional construction

CheckmarkAccess product data, research reports and training resources

CheckmarkConnect through any major mobile platform or browser and work online or offline with a single workspace

CheckmarkPrint high quality visuals of your design and expected savings to share with clients

Asphalt Pavement

Determine the most cost effective road pavement section to achieve the design ESAL value using the AASHTO 93 method. Further analyze the pavement section with this software to optimize based on performance, lifecycle cost, time and carbon savings.

Unpaved Road & Subgrade Stabilization

A new method for the design of unpaved roads derived from assessment of the true behavior of the mechanically stabilized unbound aggregate layer when subjected to dynamic stresses from vehicular loading.

Pass a Proof Roll

Estimate the unpaved section thickness needed to pass a proof roll, based on typical vehicles and allowable deformation. Determine improved resilient modulus of stabilized section for input into pavement design.

Heavy Haul Road

Unpaved road design for vehicles with heavy axle loads, special tire configurations, complex traffic patterns, and a high amount of traffic

Working Platform

Bearing capacity design method for design of safe working platforms over soft soils to support temporary heavy equipment such as cranes, piling rigs and other stationary equipment.

Sub-Ballast Stabilization

Analysis and comparison of unstabilized sub-ballast to geogrid stabilized sub-ballast sections over soft soils. Calculate cost savings based on the reduced sub-ballast thickness using InterAx geogrid.

Liquefaction Mitigation

Design of geogrid stabilized gravel raft under shallow foundation of lightly loaded structures to improve seismic performance by increasing bearing support, reducing the potential of total and differential settlements and soil ejecta.

Scour Protection

Analyze a channel scour project by determining the applied hydrodynamic shear stress and the design shear stress using the Triton Marine Mattress system. Determine if the solution is appropriate by comparing the target factor of safety (FOS) to the design FOS.

Shallow Foundation

Design with geogrid to support shallow footings over soft soil, calculate bearing capacity and settlement.
