Our specialist division, Encon Construction Products, has expanded its range of market leading brands with the addition of global geosynthetic supplier TenCate, and its Miragrid GX and GX T geogrids. Both products are available across 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. This formation ensures high tenacity strength at low elongation and excellent friction properties against coarse grained soil.

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.
  • Miragrid GX T is suitable for short and long term soil reinforcement applications.

Miragrid GX includes tensile strengths of 30/30, 40/40, 55/55 and 80/80 and available in 100m lengths. Miragrid GX T tensile strengths include 20/20, 30/30 and 40/40 in 50m lengths and 20/20 in 100m length.

Encon Construction Products Sales Director Richard Wade comments: “We are excited to partner with a global leader in high-performing geosynthetic solutions and it is a significant development for our specialist division.

“Our focus is to provide a wide choice of building solutions from leading brands so that our specifier and contractor customers benefit from pioneering products for their major building and infrastructure projects. Reliable service is extremely important too, so we ensure stock availability backed by flexible deliveries and a vast fleet, so solutions arrive on time and in the exact volumes needed”. 

TenCate Commercial Director Gijs Groen adds: “In the last few years we have seen substantial interest in our geosynthetic solutions especially in the UK with our Miragrid GX geogrid. Encon’s strong network and customer-centric approach opens the door to more construction companies working with our products.

“As part of Solmax, TenCate Geosynthetics is the worldwide market leader in geosynthetics, offering extensive experience, high quality products and strong technical support. As Encon is well known for supporting its customers to achieve their objectives, it’s a great partnership for us.”
