HAS ANYONE HEARD OF A PRODUCT CALLED TENSTAR 550. ONE OF MY CONTRACTORS SAID HE USED IT ON A JOB TO INCREASE THE SOIL'S STRENGTH. EVIDENTLY ITS SOME TYPE OF FABRIC LOOKING STUFF THAT IS LAID DOWN ON THE GROUND AND THEN FILL MATERIAL IS PUT OVER IT. HE SAID THE MILITARY DEVELOPED IT FOR PLANE RUNWAYS.

It is essentially a stretched platic grid laid flat as an underlayment to mitigate differential settlement. Its catually called "TENSAR".

Be careful of the blatant use of such products without understanding the reason for use. It is fashionable today to purchase these products like buying hamburgers. In many instances there is no added value to the use of these products. Evaluate why it is to be used etc.
