They are designed to improve the mechanical properties of soil and other construction materials by distributing loads over a wider area, increasing stability, and reducing settlement. Plastic geogrids are commonly used in civil engineering, infrastructure development, and environmental remediation projects.

• Reduces Structural Thickness: Minimizes base course thickness while maintaining performance.

• Prevents Lateral Spreading: Keeps aggregate materials confined.

• คุ้มค่า: Reduces long-term maintenance costs and construction material requirements.

• ประโยชน์ต่อสิ่งแวดล้อม: Reduces carbon footprint through material optimization.

8. Installation Guidelines

Step-by-Step Procedure:

1. การเตรียมสถานที่: Level the subgrade surface and remove debris.

2. Geogrid Deployment: Roll out the geogrid with proper alignment. For uniaxial grids, align with the principal stress direction.

3. Overlap: Overlap adjacent rolls by 30 cm to 60 cm as per design requirements.

4. Anchoring: Use stakes or pins to temporarily hold the geogrid in place.

5. Placement of Fill: Carefully place aggregate fill over the geogrid without displacing it.

6. Compaction: Compact the fill using vibratory rollers.

7. Layering (if needed): For multi-layer systems, repeat steps with new geogrid layers as required.

9. Quality Assurance & Compliance

Plastic geogrids are produced in accordance with the following standards:

• ASTM D6637 – Tensile strength testing.

• ASTM D4355 – UV resistance.

• ISO 9001:2015 – Quality management system.

• CE Certification – For European market compliance.

• GRI-GG1, GRI-GG2, GRI-GG4 – Geogrid specifications.

10. Storage and Handling

• Store rolls on elevated platforms in dry, shaded areas.

• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

• Do not stack more than 4 rolls high.

• Handle with care during transportation to prevent damage.

11. Packaging and Delivery

• Delivered in rolls, wrapped in polyethylene sheeting or woven fabric.

• Labeled with product type, dimensions, batch number, and date of manufacture.

• Available in standard and custom sizes to meet project-specific needs.

12. Summary

Plastic geogrids have become an essential element in modern geotechnical engineering and construction due to their effectiveness, longevity, and cost-saving benefits. Whether used for road reinforcement, wall stabilization, or slope protection, they significantly enhance soil performance, prevent structural failure, and extend infrastructure lifespan.
