Features and Applications of Geogrids

Dec. 15, 2022

Geogrid is one of the materials in the Geosynthetics family consisting of 3D cellular systems. Their honeycomb-like 3D structure is filled with layers of dirt, gravel or topsoil. Geogrid from EcoGeoX includes uniaxial geogrid, biaxial geogrid, triaxial Geogrid, knitted geogrids, woven geogrids, extruded geogrids and composite geogrid. GET CUSTOM GEOGRID FOR YOUR PROJECT


Geogrid can withstand both longitudinal and lateral confinement pressures, which represent a huge qualitative improvement over other stabilization methods. This material is designed to mitigate the negative effects of surface water and wind erosion, especially when applied to embankments and slopes. This is achieved through cell walls that allow water and wind to escape at the surface. Additionally, when filled with topsoil, the geogrid units will enable hydroseeding while protecting any root systems that may develop.

Made of polypropylene and polyethylene, this geosynthetic is used to further support ground loads. Therefore, it is designed to control surface erosion, as it eliminates the effects of factors such as water and wind, while stabilizing the ground through its load-supporting function, and solving issues such as drainage, covering and reinforcing canals.

 

Features and Applications of Geogrids

 

Key Features of Geogrids

High tensile strength

Geogrids are designed to have a high tensile strength, which allows them to transfer loads from the soil or other materials they are reinforcing to the surrounding structure or foundation.

► Permeability

Geogrids are typically permeable, which means they allow water or other liquids to pass through them. This can be important in applications where water management is a concern.

► Durability

Geogrids are resistant to chemical attack, UV radiation, and other environmental factors, which makes them durable and long-lasting.

 

Applications of Geogrid

► Retaining wall systems

Geogrids can be used to reinforce soil in retaining wall systems, increasing the load-bearing capacity of the wall and helping to prevent failure.

Roadway construction

Geogrids can be used to reinforce soil in roadway construction, increasing the load-bearing capacity of the roadway and helping to prevent failure.

► Slope stabilization

Geogrids can be used to reinforce soil in slope stabilization projects, increasing the load-bearing capacity of the slope and helping to prevent erosion.

Erosion control

Geogrids can be used to reinforce soil in erosion control projects, increasing the load-bearing capacity of the soil and helping to prevent erosion.

Foundation reinforcement

Geogrids can be used to reinforce soil in foundation reinforcement projects, increasing the load-bearing capacity of the soil and helping to prevent failure.
