Fortech GG Bi-Axial Geogridare high strength materials developed for bidirectional geogrid needs in various applications of civil engineering. It is produced by knitting polyester microfibres in the form of rectangles and covering them with PVC.
It provides high performance thanks to a specially designed sewing method so that it can be more robust at the node points.
Fortech GG Bidirectional Geogrid Application and Usage Areas
Fortech GG Bidirectional Geogrid is a high strength geogrid specially developed for use in the following areas for stabilization purposes where strength is required in both directions.
- In providing higher carrying capacity of runway, apron and taxiway foundations at airports
- In preventing local settlements in applications to be made on weak ground on highways by reducing the amount of foundation and sub-base filling.
- Filling works of highway expansion projects
- Soil improvements to reduce the amount of ballast and sub-ballast to prevent potential settlements in railway applications on weak ground
- It is used in the foundations of container storage areas and industrial buildings, increasing the bearing capacity of heavy foundations and preventing local settlements.
- It allows the filling layer to be laid on the weak ground to be laid in a thinner thickness.
- A platform is created with the filling formed on weak soils and prevents different settlements.
- It increases the bearing capacity of the floor by being applied in layers on weak floors.
- It reduces the amount of excavation in the excavation of the existing ground that is not of desired quality.
- It is durable, long-lasting, reliable, low-cost and resistant to seismic and dynamic loads.
Bidirectional Geogrid is produced in rolls with a maximum width of 6 m and generally 100 m in length. Each roll is shipped in a UV-protected package.
It is recommended to put up to 6 rows in case of stacking, and if the roll widths are shorter (up to 2 m), it is recommended to load and store the rolls vertically.
