Discover how TerraStop® and TerraGrid PET High Strength Woven geotextiles and geogrids, made from high tenacity polyester (PET) yarns and manufactured under ISO 9001 QA conditions, provide exceptional tensile strength with low elongation. Learn about their compliance with NSW RMS R67 and Qld TMR MRTS 100 standards and the importance of quality control tensile testing as per ISO10319:1996. Understand the design factors, long-term strength, and stiffness influenced by temperature and loading duration, based on independent research and industry standards.
