Fortech EG Bi-Directional Extruded Geogrid
They are materials with tensile strength in both longitudinal and transverse directions, produced by extrusion method from high-strength polypropylene material, developed for the bi-directional geogrid needs in various applications of civil engineering.
It is inert to chemicals in soils in the range of 4≤ph≤9.
Extruded Geogrid Application and Usage Areas
Fortech EG Bidirectional Extruded Geogrid is a high strength, specially developed for use in the following areas for stabilization purposes where strength is required in both directions. It is geogrid.
- Providing higher carrying capacity of runway, apron and taxiway foundations at airports
- Preventing local settlements in applications on weak ground on highways by reducing the amount of foundation and sub-base filling
- In filling works of highway expansion projects
- In order to reduce the amount of ballast and sub-ballast in order to prevent potential settlements in railway applications on weak ground, in ground improvements
- It is used in the foundations of container storage areas and industrial buildings, to increase the bearing capacity of heavy foundations and to prevent local settlements.
Advantages
- It allows the filling layer to be laid on weak ground to be laid in a thinner thickness.
- A platform is created with the filling on weak soils and prevents differential settlement.
- It increases the bearing capacity of the ground by applying it in layers on weak soils.
- It reduces the amount of excavation in the excavation of existing ground that does not have the desired quality.
- It is durable, long-lasting, reliable, low-cost and resistant to seismic and dynamic loads.
