Minegrid^® for Mining & Quarrying

Reliable and proven Longwall Recovery, Highwall and Rib Support

Minegrid is manufactured from high-tenacity polyester and is coated with a flame-resistant, anti-static coating. Minegrid standard tensile strengths range from 35 kN/m to 1,000 kN/m however, HUESKER is capable of manufacturing tensile support solutions which goes well beyond this. Standard roll size is 5m x 100m, but shorter, narrower rolls can be supplied upon request. The wide range of the Minegrid product line allows mines and quarries to customize to fit their need. HUESKER offers holistic service from design to post install audits with mine specific customization, risk assessment assistance and operational audit. We are looking forward to your inquiry.

Minegrid eco

Sustainable protection grid for efficient mining

Minegrid is now available made from 100% recycled PET. It has the same excellent performance as the original product made from virgin PET, making your project sustainable and safe. The product is manufactured with a tensile strength of 35 kN/m as standard, although we can also produce it with very high tensile strengths on request. MineGrid eco is part of the HUESKER ecoLine, which contributes to even more sustainable construction with geotextiles.
