Most companies agree that safety and dependability are two of the top factors that influence a lot of the major changes in the world. That’s why this product is a creative combination of malformed and pure form cross grid-like material. Some of the strongest structures in nature have a cross-like design with intersecting spokes that act as a spine or infrastructure of a building. Some of our systems model these concepts and because of it have designed some of the strongest systems in the industry.
The way it works is quite simple. Friction. The force that is used to stop the vehicles we drive every day is the same driving force behind the design. Picture the compression of a grid that forces the dirt and other soil elements that are forced into the openings of the grid itself. It’s a very creative process and material design. These geographical grids (or geo grids) come in three forms. We will cover them next.
The first type is the extruded grid. These geo grids have a low-level profile. As far as manufacturing goes, first they are extruded through our press, and then they are pulled until the desired effect. If you want to get specific, there are two distinct ways that the extruded grid can be pulled. The first option is to pull the product out one direction—that’s why this is called a mono-oriented geogrid. The second is for the product to be extruded and then pulled in two separate routes—these are called bi-oriented geogrids. These grids are very diverse in that they are perfect for something as simple as soil, and a bit more intricate as reinforcement for pavement.
The next geogrid type has a low profile. In this structure, we run multiple meshes of material. They are bonded together in an evenly distributed fashion. We fashion this grid with polyethylene over polyester. A perfect combination for what we need to do with this product.
The third type we’ll be talking about is woven geogrids. This system was designed in an intricate web shape. It’s made with synthetic fibers of high quality. This is one of our very best systems to date.
In this industry, as we begin to build more roads and structures we have to think about the future. The population is ever-growing all around the world which means more vehicles on the road. The more vehicles on the road, the quicker the roads and other structures wear and tear. That’s the concept and create of geogrids are not only cutting edge but essentially to the future or road work and other crucial development.
We hope this article has been informative in regards to the benefits of geogrids and how the cutting edge systems are primed to set the bar for the future.
