Geoquest offers soil reinforcement and ground stabilization engineered solutions with ArmaGrid®.
Our ArmaGrid® line provides engineers and builders with a straightforward, full-service approach for procuring biaxial and uniaxial, polyester (PET) geogrids. Our geogrid performance properties are easily identifiable to specify for use on projects of all types in all construction sectors.
ArmaGrid® BX (PET)
A high strength and low strain biaxial PET knitted geogrid is manufactured with high tenacity polyester yarns. Developed by geotechnical engineers to support shallow embankments, foundations or other heavily loaded platforms on soft soil. This interlaying geogrid improves load distribution in two directions, maintaining structural integrity and reducing differential settlement of your structures.
ArmaGrid® UX (PET)
A knitted polyester uniaxial geogrid provides a tensile reinforcement capacity in one direction. This geogrid solution is best suited for demanding soil reinforcement applications, for instance steep slopes, basal reinforcement and foundation improvements where equalized load distribution and settlement control of soil platforms is necessary.
Applications
> Embankments on soft soils
ArmaGrid® is used as layered soil reinforcement for building embankments on poor sub-soils for improving stability. ArmaGrid® helps in reducing the construction time and increases the global performance of the project. Embankment foundations reinforced with ArmaGrid® are able to withstand high static and dynamic loads.
> Embankments over subsidence and void bridging
ArmaGrid® is used in reinforced fill layers to bridge any potential voids and cavities formed in the underlying soil and thus avoiding sinkhole formation for any new structures, embankments or roads built over of such formations. Areas having historical sites with geological fissures and formations prone to subsidence (for example mining sites) may require soil reinforcement measures with ArmaGrid®.
> Load Transfer Platforms and piled embankments
ArmaGrid® is used in the transition layer for distribution and transfer of loads to rigid inclusions such as stone columns or piles in soft foundations. This composite solution optimizes settlement control and the load-bearing performance of the rigid inclusions.
> Ground stabilization
ArmaGrid® is used as basal reinforcement in layers or as a flexible mattress for ground improvement works for airport runways, railways, access roads, working platforms, hardstands, heavy duty port pavements and similar applications.
> Reinforced Steep Slopes and walls
ArmaGrid® performs as a high-performance soil reinforcing elements for building mechanically stabilized reinforced steep slopes and walls.
> Landfill expansions
ArmaGrid® can be used effectively in combination with other Geoquest products for landfill expansions to solve the ever growing problem of waste disposal, especially for raising dykes over existing landfills or increasing the capacity of existing landfills.
> Land reclamation
ArmaGrid®, used in combination with other Geoquest ground stabilization techniques facilitates all types of sustainable land reclamation and redevelopment, for example sludge lagoon remediation on soft soils.
