Geogrid for Heavy Load, 2 Inch Depth Ground Grid Stones/Gravel Stabilizer for Driveways Parking Paths Patios, Non Slip Geocell Grid Easy to Cut (Color : W x L, Size : 6x10 m/20x33 ft)

Product Information

When used as a geotechnical engineering term, the Tension Membrane Effect describes the stabilising effects of geogrids on a soil foundation. It is based on the concept of vertical stress distribution and the ability of a geosynthetic sheet to be deformed and absorb forces through tension. When a Geogrid is placed over or within the soil, it acts as a framework, reinforcing the subgrade layers and creating a “tension membrane” that creates an even soil distribution. This tension membrane helps to alleviate a number of geotechnical issues that can affect the stability of a soil foundation, such as subsidence or differential settlement. By providing increased strength through the Tension Membrane Effect, geogrids can help to reduce the risk of geotechnical issues and improve the safety and stability of soil foundations. Use your level to ensure that your string is perfectly leveled. If not leveled, adjust the string from where it's tied at the lower stake until it is.

Vodaland designed the grids to be easily customizable to match your desired lengths for slope erosion. The geo web grids come at a size of 8.4 ft x 19.7 ft, but if a smaller size is needed, customers can easily cut the grid with a utility knife. To attach the grids together, it’s as simple as looping zip-ties through the permeation holes of each grid. This provides customers with an economical construction method. geocell/geo grid– for steep erosion control, driveways (filled with 3/4" and larger gravel), retaining walls. The gravel on the surface of your driveway should consist of a small diameter crushed gravel. A 20 mm crushed gravel is the ideal choice for the surface layer.SUDS Compliant - Because GD Gravel is porous it is ideal for solutions requiring a Sustainable Drainage System. Once you’ve selected your geogrid and geotextiles, you’ll need to place them. See below for a brief step by step instruction on how to install geotextile. Geogrid is installed in the same way, just without going up the sides of your excavation. A tad spendy for what it is, but consider it an investment in reducing the need to continuously buy gravel over the years. It does a great job keeping the gravel from shifting in my guest pull off area. Self installed, and self filled with pea gravel (can't compact it the same way as gravel, so it is good for my 8' x 25' area, but would need a gravel base for a larger zone). Is your native soil fine-grained, like clay or silt? You 100% need a geotextile filter fabric and probably should use some biaxial geogrid as well (don’t use uniaxial geogrid, that type of geogrid is intended for retaining walls).

GeoGrid cellular paving system enables the fast and efficient implementation of ground reinforcement and stabilization. GeoGrid’s unique patented design offers the combination of excellent cellular strength and weight load capability (up to 500 tons/metersq.) whilst allowing for optimal expansion and contraction avoiding the risk of surface deformation in hot or cold climates. The cellular design of the grids allows the dispersion of excess rain or flood water which makes it ideal for integration with Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) and in areas prone to flooding or with water dispersion problems. Geogrid Pavers can be in-filled with either aggregate and decorative stones to provide robust ground reinforcement. Alternatively, GeoGrid can be seeded with grass to provide an environmentally friendly and aesthetic option. Reduce asphalt maintenance needs and increase the lifespan of roads and pavements by reducing the effects of differential settlement.

What are Geogrids used for?

Geo Ground Grids can use any aggregate for erosion control purposes, but only gravel can be used for vehicle loads or heavier. A gravel base is also required. The initial expense of installing geocells in your driveway typically pays for itself over time. Geocells provide unmatched strength and lifespan in climates where severe weather is frequent or seasonal. Ponding water is a road or driveway’s worst enemy. If you can control water, you can control the performance of your road. Conclusion There are several advantages and disadvantages to take into account when selecting the sort of driveway material that is best for you, with cost and durability taking top priority. Here is a brief comparison of the four most popular driveway materials: pavers, gravel, and asphalt. Ensure proper land utilisation by increasing the strength of unsuitable soils and allowing them to meet the required properties for construction.

A common trap that outdoor DIY’ers fall into is assuming that the dry soil they see in the summer is as “hard as concrete”. Sure, your soil is in great condition in the heat of the summer, but how does it hold up to a torrential downpour in the spring? If you want to build a driveway that doesn’t fall apart at the first sign of rain, you’ll want to take a good look at your soil when it’s both wet and dry. 6. Driveway Subgrade Preparation GeoGrid is a patented cellular grid paving system and it is also ideal for gateways or entrance areas, fire and emergency routes, depot storage areas or fire and emergency lanes where there is a requirement for indicating specific zones like disabled parking bays and traffic flow directions. It can even be used for sporting applications like golf buggy routes or equestrian areas. Driveway edging isn’t necessary for a gravel driveway, and depending on the aesthetics and layout of your home and property, you may not want to install it. Extruded geogrids, also known as “punched and drawn” geogrids, are the descendants of the original unitised geogrids invented by Dr Mercer. They are made from flat sheets of extruded plastic, usually high-density polypropylene or polyethylene, that are passed through a punching machine to cut out the desired aperture pattern. After this, the material is then stretched in the desired direction (machine direction for uniaxial geogrids and both machine and transverse directions for biaxial geogrids) to develop the required tensile strength. Extruded geogrids are more rigid than their counterparts and can be more expensive, but they do perform exceptionally well in high-tension applications.

Installation Guide

The geogrid is made from durable punched polypropylene plastic and can be easily rolled out for installation. Invisible - When filled the product is practically invisible, leaving you with a stunning surface that is easy to maintain. Permeable Pavers can use any aggregate for any situation, including for vehicle loads. A fine gravel or sand base is optional with the pavers, but is recommended for the most ideal install. To provide a firm working surface - Building on soft subgrade soils can have serious load-bearing consequences if not properly reinforced. Installing geogrid in these conditions can improve the strength of soft subgrade soils, giving you a solid base for your construction.
