Geogrid reinforced soil retaining walls offer a superior alternative solution for earth retention problems. Instead of building a massive retaining wall, the soils are stabilised by reinforcing them with polymeric meshes called geogrids. This technology is more efficient, economic, easy to construct and eco-friendly.

TechGrid Designer Pro is a software designed for reinforced soil retaining walls, which is launched by TechFab India Industries Ltd, one of the leading manufacturers of geosynthetics. The company is offering this software for free use for its customers. Although reinforced soil technology is extensively used in highway projects in India, its immense potential has not been utilised in other sectors and smaller projects. One difficulty is that most civil engineers do not have access to efficient tools for the design of reinforced soil structures. TechGrid Designer Pro has been created to address this need as claimed by TechFab India.

“TechGrid Designer Pro is accurate, versatile, advanced, fully automated and integrated software for the design of reinforced soil walls in which TechGrid geogrids are used to reinforce the soil. The program helps engineers to design reliable and economic solutions and efficiently generates all the information required by the engineer to complete the project – design reports, construction drawings and material quantity estimates,” informs Pramod Salvekar, GM – Marketing, TechFab India Industries Ltd.
