Plastic Geogrid for soil stabilization/reinforcement for weak saturated soils

Biaxial Geogrid Description 

The bi-axial geogrids are used to increase the bearing capacity and stabilization of low load bearing soils. When the granular material is compacted over these grids, it partially penetrates and projects through the apertures creating an interlocking action between the particles and the grid. This positive mechanical interlock enables the grid to resist horizontal shear from the fill and thereby mobilize the maximum bearing capacity of the soft subsoil.

Biaxial Geogrid Benefits 

• Cost savings with major performance benefits
• Considerable savings in granular thickness without compromising performance
• Control of differential settlement and rutting
• Great Improvement of Traffic Benefit and Layer Coefficient ratios
• Prevention of upward movement of the subgrade fines by pumping
• Achieving longer pavement life cycle
• Reduction of excavated soil along with conservation of natural aggregates
• Avoids the requirement of pile caps, vibro concrete columns, concrete rafts, stone piles etc., otherwise needed for the conventional alternatives in foundation support applications
• Minimize undercutting and backfilling
• Increase the effective bearing capacity beneath shallow spread footings

Biaxial Geogrid Application 

• Soil stabilization
• Sub-base reinforcement
• Foundation support
• Heavy duty pavements
• Railway ballast reinforcement over soft foundations
• Access roads to oil platforms
• Other highway challenges
•
