Geogrids
Geogrids are rolled mesh materials made of polymeric or synthetic threads with protective coatings, with cells ranging in size from 2.5 to 50 mm. There are several types of geogrids (also known as geocells): depending on the raw materials used in production (fiber glass, polyester threads, or plastic) and end use (soils or asphalt concrete). The service life of a geogrid is at least 25 years.
End uses of geogrids
- reinforcement of structural layers of road pavements during construction or reconstruction of roads
- roadbed reinforcement on soft grounds for railways and dams
- reinforcement of coastal zones, dams, and slopes
- reinforcement of the asphalt concrete pavement joint
- interfacing of road pavements of different types
- prevention of all types of asphalt concrete pavement cracks
- reinforcement of bridge pavements
- restoration of a road section after repairs of underground utilities
- erosion-preventing protection of embankment and adjacent slopes with the use of a vegetable soil with grass sowing
- landscape design
- patching repair
- construction of platforms for high loads (container terminals, port facilities, airfields, storage facilities, parking lots for heavy vehicles, etc.)
Purposes of geogrids
- redistributing vertical loads on the asphalt concrete surface into horizontal
- reducing thickness of the asphalt pavement during road repairs
- increasing the load limit
- preventing spread of reflected cracks of the old payments into the new asphalt concrete layer
- improving operational reliability and service life of the road structure
- reducing active stress and deformations
- simplifying the construction technology and reducing the construction period
Key properties
- water resistance
- biostability
- resistance to acidic and alkaline environments
- light resistance
- undecayable
- at least 25 years of service life
We are happy to offer GlassDor fiber glass geogrids, PolyGrid polyester (polyester thread) grids, and composite materials based on these grids (geogrids with non-woven fabric) with breaking loads up to 200 kN/m. We can also manufacture products according to the customer's statement of work.
