Product Overview
ForTex Bi-Axial Geogrids are high resistant geogrids developed specially for using in the following areas where resistance is necessary in both sides:
- In providing higher bearing capacities in foundations of runways, aprons and taxiways in airports
- In prevention of local subsidence in applications to be made on low bearing surfaces on highways by reducing the base and sub-base filling materials
- At filling works of highway expansion projects
- In ground improvements for reducing the amount of ballast and sub-ballast to avoid potential subsidence in railway applications to be made on weak soil.
- In increasing the bearing capacity of heavy foundations and in prevention of local subsidence in container storage fields and the foundations of industrial buildings.
Advantages
- Enables application of a thinner backfill layer to be laid on poor ground.
- Forms a platform with the fill on weak soils and prevents varied ground subsidences.
- When it is applied in multi layers, it improves the load bearing capacity of the ground.
- It reduces the amount of earthwork excavation when the existing surface has insufficient process quality.
- These are durable, long-lasting, reliable, cost-effective and resistant to seismic and dynamic loads.
Packaging and Storage
ForTex Bi-Axial Geogrids are manufactured as rolls with a maximum width of 6 m and a length of 100 m usually. Each roll is shipped wrapped in UV resistant packaging.
It is recommended not to stack up more than 6 rolls on top of each other horizontally. The rolls with a smaller width (up to 2 m), should be transported and stored in the vertical position.
