Fortech GG Unidirectional Geogridare high strength materials developed for unidirectional geogrid needs in various applications of civil engineering. It is produced by knitting polyester microfibres in the form of rectangles and covering them with Polymer or PVC. It provides high performance thanks to a specially designed sewing method to be more durable at the node points.
Unidirectional Geogrids are knitted type geogrids where the tensile stress in one direction is significantly higher than the tensile stress in the opposite direction.
Fortech GG Unidirectional Geogrid Application and Usage Areas
Fortech GG Unidirectional Geogrid is used in applications such as retaining structure systems (GeoArme) with slope stabilization, where strength is required in one direction.
General usage areas of reinforced retaining structure systems (GeoArme Retaining Structure Systems) with fast and economical application possibility, safe earthquake behavior, flexible structure, resistant to settlements and at the same time aesthetic appearance:
- Divided road widening works
- On the approach walls of crossroads
- In places to be expropriated
- Working to gain space
- Bridge edge footwalls
- On bridge elevation walls
- It is used in park garden walls.
- Fortech GG Unidirectional Geogrid; durable, long lasting, reliable, low cost and resistant to seismic and dynamic loads.
- When the fill or granular material is laid on the geogrid, the grains of the fill material are fully interlocked with the openings of the geogrid.
- Unidirectional Geogrid ensures that this tension is met inside the pores, forming a unity with the filling material.
- Thus, the tensile and shear stresses on the ground are met by the geogrid, forming a reinforced platform.
ForTex GG 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.
