What are the features and applications of geogrids?
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. 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 gro...
