The low supporting capacity of the subgrade or available granular materials demands high-cost, robust pavement structures. The use of geogrids for mechanical stabilization of granular bases reduces stress levels and deformations, while increasing the elastic recovery capacity, achieving a reduction in the required granular base thicknesses.

 

What are Biaxial Geogrids and what are they for? Fortgrid BX?

Fortgrid biaxial geogrids are used for the reinforcement of granular layers in all types of pavements and industrial floors and for the reinforcement of soils supporting surface foundations. Thanks to their low creep, they present stability in long-term mechanical behavior, which represents permanence in the reinforcement function over time and control of deformations in the reinforced structure.

Fortgrid biaxial geogrids are developed to interact with soils and stone aggregates, providing high tensile strength and high deformation modulus to the structures they comprise. The geogrid fibers are made with the exclusive G5 Multifilament of high tenacity polyester (PET) and are coated with a copolymer that gives it greater dimensional rigidity and the necessary protection during installation.

 

Advantages:

  • High elastic modulus: high immediate elastic response that provides reinforcement to the ground.
  • High interaction with the ground: strong joints that guarantee binding and resistance to pulling out.
  • Low creep: controls long-term deformation of structures.
  • Low installation damage: high resistance at the joint, coated with a copolymer that protects them.
