Services:

R&D consultancy: Exploring formulas, reduction factors, and design standards to ensure accurate geogrid recommendations.
Digital transformation: Building a robust tool that automates calculations, comparisons, and outputs for project-specific geogrid material selection.

Simplifying geogrid material selection with automated calculations and centralized data

In today's fast-paced infrastructure market, speed, precision, and consistency are critical to success. As projects grow more complex, companies like Naue need smarter ways to translate technical expertise into reliable decisions that can be shared across the organization. NEXATEK partnered with Naue to create the Naue Geogrid Advisor (NGA), a tool designed to transform geogrid selection from a time-consuming task into a streamlined, data-driven process that empowers both engineers and business teams.

Manual geogrid selection consumed hours per project, delaying design workflows.
Risk of errors due to complex calculations and interpolation techniques.
Dependence on senior engineers for consistent, standards-compliant recommendations.
Difficulty in comparing multiple geogrid products across performance and durability criteria.
Limited ability to share insights or reports across different departments.

NEXATEK developed the Naue Geogrid Advisor (NGA), an integrated software solution that combines technical knowledge, standardized calculations, and user-friendly design in one platform. The NGA automates evaluations for Ultimate Limit State (ULS) and Serviceability Limit State (SLS), applies validated reduction factors, and supports interpolation across design lives, all while ensuring compliance with international standards. By connecting directly to Naue's internal database, the tool provides a single source of truth, enabling engineers, sales teams, and management to access up-to-date material data, collaborate seamlessly, and generate quick, reliable reports.

The implementation of the Naue Geogrid Advisor brought measurable improvements:

Engineering time reduced by 60%, enabling faster design decisions.
Errors in geogrid selection decreased by 75%, ensuring reliability and consistency.
Knowledge retention improved as consistent methodology is embedded in the software.
Project responsiveness increased, with quicker delivery of recommendations to clients.
