Strata Systems geosynthetics
reinforce soils in a wide variety of applications, including retaining
walls, reinforced steep slopes, highway and rail embankments, landslide
repairs, landfills, dams, levees, temporary walls, and other applications.
StrataGRID
StrataGRID is
a precision knitted geogrid that offers superior junction strength
and a high coefficient of soil interaction. StrataGRID is made with high
molecular weight and high tenacity polyester yarns and knitted into a dimensionally
stable network of apertures providing tensile reinforcement both machine-
and cross-directionally. A proprietary UV-stabilized saturated coating
is then applied to StrataGRID, further strengthening the geogrid. StrataGRID’s
coating process exposes the polyester fiber to much lower temperatures
than other coated geosynthetics, thereby minimizing fiber degradation.
StrataGRID is also available with a smaller aperture size as MicroGRID
and is used a secondary reinforcement method in steep slopes and as slope
facing reinforcement.

SLEEVE-IT
Strata SLEEVE-IT
is the pre-engineered solution for building fence-ready, code compliant
retaining walls. Fence and handrails installed in the Sleeve-It
system directly behind the wall unit will meet the International
Building Code requirements. The Sleeve-It system uses a cantilever
design to engage the overlying soil mass, providing resistance
to the fence load. For the past twenty years installing fence directly
behind a segmental retaining wall has been problematic. Today,
SLEEVE-IT has the solution. The Sleeve-It system provides both
ease of installation and structural integrity that is code compliant.

StrataBARRIER
StrataBARRIER
vapor barrier membranes and laminated composite materials are cross
laminated HDPE membranes constructed to restrict moisture migration
through concrete slabs. StrataBARRIER products restrict the transmission
of water vapor passing upward through concrete slabs or grade,
protecting floors from vapor migration and significantly decreasing
interior moisture condensation - providing a dryer, healthier environment
for the building. StrataBARRIER products reduce the cracking and
curling of slab, the delamination of flooring products, the risk
of mold and radon gas absorption.
StrataDrain
StrataDRAIN
is a high flow, fusion-bonded, geonet/geotextile drainage composite
which aids in the drainage of many soil and foundation reinforcement
applications. StrataDRAIN can be used as a wick drain in embankments,
an underdrain in foundations, an inceptor drain in slopes and as
a wall drain for both foundation and retaining walls.
The strength and uniformity of the fusion bond between StrataDRAINs
layers makes them highly resistant to layer separation. StrataDRAIN
has excellent hydraulic performance and minimizes a project’s
potential for failure planes, caused by the fabric portion of the
composite sliding on the drainage core.
Specification
With more than a
decade of experience, Strata Systems is at the forefront of the geosynthetics
industry through the development of innovative technology and products
for soil reinforcement applications. Strata
Systems is a company committed
to exceeding the needs of its customers - from customer support to superior
quality products. Strata provides solutions for today’s toughest
land development challenges.
Strata Systems offers several different solutions to assist with a variety
of land development challenges. StrataGRID, a high tenacity, knitted
polyester geogrid, is an integral piece in the successful reinforcement
of steepened slopes and retaining wall developments through StrataSLOPES
and StrataWALLS, respectively. StrataBASE is a biaxial geogrid used for
soil stabilization and base reinforcement of road and rail applications.
StrataBARRIER is a collection of vapor barrier retarders which limit
the passing of liquids and vapors into concrete foundations. Strata Systems
offers cost-effective geosynthetic solutions that focus on functionality,
economy and meeting the needs of project specifications.
Strata Systems, Inc. announced that its high tenacity geogrids and other soil reinforcement products have been issued a CE marking certification.
CE is a mandatory European marking for certain product groups to indicate conformity with the essential health and safety requirements set out in European Directives.
“Having the CE mark on our geogrid products will give us a great boost into the European market for geosynthetics,” said Strata Systems, Inc. President Chip Fuller. “The CE mark is also recognized globally as an indicator of high product qualitycontrol and good manufacturing management.”
The CE marking allows Strata to freely sell and distribute its products throughout the 28 countries of the European Economic Area (EEA). It declares that Strata’s soil reinforcement materials meet certain standards under Directive EN13251 for geotextile materials used in earthworks and retaining wall construction.
Strata’s CE marking announcement coincides with the company receiving its ISO 9001:2000 twelve-month surveillance audit certificate. The ISO certification assures Strata’s ongoing compliance with globally recognized ISO standards for quality management systems to enhance customer satisfaction in supplier-customer relationships.
In the broad scope of overseas competition, Fuller sees a direct linkage between his company’s ISO and CE marking certifications. “As we grow internationally, we know that customers are looking for ISO: 9001 certification to ensure that we have the management systems in place to meet their expectations. Having ISO helped us tremendously with the CE testing and documentation process.”
Strata Systems is a leader in the production and distribution of advanced geogrid soil reinforcement and composite geosynthetic products under the Stratagrid®, Microgrid™ and Stratadrain™ brands. Additionally, the company’s newly acquired Sleeve-It™ product line affords engineers a code-compliant system for integrating fencing into engineered retaining walls. High performance Strata products are designed to meet complex engineering and construction challenges relating to retaining walls, reinforced slopes and embankments. Strata Systems’ state-of-the-industry manufacturing and R&D capabilities are an extension of its commitment to growth through innovation.
Strata Systems is a subsidiary of Glen Raven, Inc. the leader in performance textiles and fabrics, recognized globally for its Sunbrella® brand.
