BaseGrid Geogrids for Base Stabilization

BaseGrid geogrids are biaxial polypropylene geogrids for base course reinforcement and subgrade stabilization.

BaseGrid 22 is constructed by welding and rolling together two layers of extruded, flexible geogrids to create a continuous sheet that will not seperate. The two grids are offset before welding, creating a stable, continuous sheet with random sized aperatures for improved soil interaction.

BaseGrid 33 is constructed by stitching together offset layers of extruded, flexible geogrids. The result is a multi-layered, high-strength, base stabilization geogrid with random sized apertures capable of withstanding very intense loads.

The number of strands in US Fabrics' BaseGrid 22 and BaseGrid 33 grids allow for a uniform distribution of stress similar to the “root effect” making BaseGrid geogrids particularly suitable for reinforcing fine, weak soils. US Fabrics' BaseGrid base stabilization geogrids are manufactured to suit any project.




Features & Benefits
Performance. US Fabrics' BaseGrid geogrids can reduce the required granular base fill material for paved and unpaved roads and decrease construction time significantly. US Fabrics' BaseGrid geogrids provide excellent durability and long-term performance.
Efficiency. The random sized apertures of BaseGrid geogrids interlock with a variety of soil properties. Large scale laboratory testing has shown that BaseGrid geogrids can increase the number of traffic loadings before failure twenty fold! With US Fabrics' BaseGrid base stabilization geogrids, longer pavement life can be expected!
Strength. BaseGrid geogrids offer high strength at low strain and exhibit high tensile strength in both longitudinal and transverse directions, making them suitable for base course reinforcement and soil stabilization applications.
Soil Interaction. BaseGrid geogrids offer a combination of random aperture geometry, many tensile elements and multiple layers to enhance soil/geogrid interaction. US Fabrics' BaseGrid geogrids greatly improve geogrid interlocking capacity, efficiently distributing applied loads and preventing localized shear failure. Large scale pull-out testing has demonstrated these benefits.


Advantages

BaseGrid geogrids deliver strength, long-term performance, reliability and quick installation for:

• Base reinforcement for paved roads
• Construction haul roads
• Foundation reinforcement
• Permanent unpaved roads
• Working platforms on weak soils
• Parking areas
• Secondary reinforcement for soil retaining structures
