Green Roof Design - Biaxial Geogrids, Wind and Water Erosion

Here in hurricane or cyclone alley we have always recommend use of a restraining weave embedded in green roof soil media.

I like the thick three dimensional weaves of non-woven geogrids.  Those offering multi-axial reinforcement are even better.  However sustainability probably lies in coir or hemp and not in the nylons and polypropylenes.

Regardless, three dimensional weaves have a huge impact on erosion control for green roofs!  Check out this video!

Polyester Geogrid is a highly effective geosynthetic material designed for soil reinforcement and stabilization in construction and civil engineering projects. Known for its high tensile strength and excellent durability, Polyester geogrid is widely used in applications such as road construction, embankments, retaining walls, and railway tracks. This material enhances the load-bearing capacity of soils, preventing deformation and improving the overall lifespan of infrastructure.
