Geogrid supplier selection can make or break the success of a soil stabilization or earthwork project. While geogrid may represent a modest percentage of total construction costs, problems tied to poor-quality suppliers can create costly ripple effects across your schedule and budget, especially on projects throughout the Midwest where weather windows and logistics are critical.
Common Problems with Low-Quality Geogrid Suppliers
Choosing the wrong supplier often introduces risks that aren’t visible at bid time. Some of the most common issues include:
- Weak or inconsistent materials that fail to meet design tensile strength or long-term performance requirements
- Noncompliant products that don’t align with DOT or engineer specifications, forcing costly replacements
- Late or incomplete shipments, delaying backfill, paving, or structural work
- Limited technical support, leaving field teams without guidance when conditions change
Each of these problems increases the likelihood of rework and inspection failures.
How These Issues Impact Project Costs
The financial consequences of supplier-related problems add up quickly. Industry data and contractor experience show that rework can cost 5–15% of the total project value. When crews are idle waiting for replacement material or approvals, margins erode fast.
In the Midwest, where construction seasons are compressed, even a one-week delay due to late geogrid delivery can push work into unfavorable weather, thereby compounding labor, equipment, and protection costs.
