Learn about the differences and advantages of a gabion module with Geoestera Geogrid, compared to conventional triple twist mesh

GABION MODULES IN GEOSTERNAL GEOMETRIC 

The GEOSTERNAL GEOMETRIC In addition to being used to contain rocks when constructing rock-fill mattresses, it has another application: GABION MODULES IN GEOSTERNAL GEOMETRIC, which are not affected by corrosion, are highly resistant to abrasion and stress, and are larger than conventional ones, ensuring better performance on-site during installation.

 

 

As an example, The following figure shows modules ofe 4.0m long, 2.0m wide and 1.0m high. 

 

 

 

 

                                                                                                                                  

ANDIt is important to specify that the G.E.GEOESTRAL OMALLA serves to contain a specific volume of rockfill within the proportions specified in the designbuilding permits issued, allowYointhanks to its aperture size, host material of 1.5 inch (37.5 mm) onwards for the reference case GEOESTERA 50 and 3 inch (75mm) for references GEOESTERA 80 and 300. 

 

 

COMPARISON OF GABION MODULES IN GEOMESH GEOESTERA AND CONVENTIONAL TRIPLE-TWIST MESH 

The GEOSTERNAL GEOMETRIC, is biaxial in nature, with similar strengths of 50 kN/m for the GEOESTERA 50, 80 kN/m for the GEOESTERA 80 up to a maximum value of 300 kN/m for GEOESTERA 300, as standard products, with higher resistance options available upon request.  

 

TO Table 1 below presents a comparison that allows for an assessment of the specified properties versus those offered.

 

Table 1. Comparison of Triple Twist Mesh vs. Hydrogrid Geoestera 50

 

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: TRIPLE-TWIST MESH		TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR HIDROMALLA GEOSTERA 50
Triple-twisted hexagonal wire mesh made of galvanized wire in accordance with NTC2403		Mesh made from Geomatrix’s exclusive G5 multifilament, coated with a copolymer that makes it highly resistant to the abrasive wear caused by the constant action of water currents.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES		PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Tensile strength of the mesh	44.8 kN/m	Tensile strength	55.0 kN/m
Aperture size	10×8 cm	Aperture size	3.1 × 2.6 cm
Structure	Steel	Structure	High-tenacity polyester

 

 

  

As can be seen, the GEOGEOSTER MESH 50 It outperforms metal mesh in terms of mechanical properties and is not susceptible to corrosion, being the one with the lowest resistance in its range. His coating with copolymer of the GEOESTERA makes it durable in harsh environmentsmoist or naturally harsh environments and their mfabric woven by weft insertion with intersectingfiber-reinforced protective high-tenacity polyester They generate greater coverage and structural stability.
