Supplying Solutions for Surface and Underground
Overview
| Share This Share More...
Tensar Mining Systems are a family of polymeric grid and composite mining products, whose basic components are Tensar® structural geogrids. Made from high-strength, corrosion-resistant polymers, our geogrids are lightweight and easy to handle, allowing them to be installed safely and quickly.

Underground Applications

Our Mining Systems offer solutions for a wide range of underground mine and tunnel applications, including:

Roof and Rib Control – Our white reflective geogrid is corrosion-resistant and provides effective pillar wrap, roof and rib strap, and general meshing solutions. It is easier and safer to handle, transport and install than metal screen.
Longwall Screens – Our geogrid composite is ideal for use in longwall mining operations. Unlike chain link, sections of the screen can be assembled above ground and easily transported underground for installation.
Ventilation Control – Our Ventilation Control System consists of Minex™ structural geogrid with a solid flame-retardant PVC coating. This system allows extremely strong ventilation walls to be constructed in openings as large as 30' high x 50' wide.
High Wall Screens – Tensar structural geogrids secure steep faces, preventing falling debris at mine entrances. Strong, lightweight, safe and easy to install, our geogrids contrast sharply with the wire mesh alternatives.
Soft Bottom Reinforcement – Increase productivity by mitigating soft bottom problems at your site. A layer of Tensar structural geogrid covered with suitable aggregate prevents rutting and locks fill in place.
Automatic Grid Dispensing – The automatic grid dispenser makes installation-friendly geogrid even easier to install. Attached to a roof bolter or miner, this dispenser saves significant time and labor costs.

Surface Applications

We also offer solutions for a variety of surface applications at coal, mineral, and other mining operations, increasing your productivity and lowering your operating costs, including:

Base and subgrade improvement (Haul Road System)
Landfill vertical expansion (ADD³® Capacity Improvement System)
Retaining walls (Mesa® Retaining Wall Systems & ARES® Retaining Wall Systems)
Slope reinforcement (Sierra® Slope Retention System)
Truck dump headwalls (Mesa Retaining Wall Systems & ARES Retaining Wall Systems)
