NAUE America’s primary reinforcement products, Secugrid® and Combigrid®, are used in construction throughout the world and have earned a number of key recognitions. In the United States, these materials performed exceptionally well in independent field tests conducted by the Western Transportation Institute of Montana State University. The Smokey Hill Air National Guard Range also recognized NAUE for its products’ use at an emergency training facility.
