Modern infrastructure has become increasingly sophisticated as engineers aim to balance the demands of a rising population with the global need for environmentally sound structures. These structures need systems that can deliver multiple functions throughout a long lifecycle without sacrificing quality. Geogrids, made from durable polymers, are perfectly suited for this type of high-demand construction. These… Continue reading Why use geogrids, and how to choose the right one?
Slope protection is a critical aspect of engineering and environmental management aimed at safeguarding slopes from erosion, instability, and failure. It involves the implementation of various measures to maintain the stability of slopes and prevent accidents or damage. Slopes with higher inclinations or erosive soils require more attention and protection measures, such as erosion control blankets,… Continue reading What is the importance of slope protection?
Geogrids are a type of geosynthetic material used for mechanical stabilization and soil reinforcement in construction. These large, flexible rolls of polymers follow a grid-like pattern with intersecting openings called apertures. Depending on the application, geogrids are inserted either within the subgrade material or as a layer between the subgrade and base, depending on the California… Continue reading What is the function of a geogrid in a pavement?
A retaining wall is a structure designed to hold back soil or other materials and prevent them from collapsing. Retaining walls are near-vertical structures designed to hold back soil on one side and create level areas on both sides of the slope. These structures must remain stable, endure changing climatic conditions, and withstand installation with… Continue reading When should you use geogrid for a retaining wall?
Pavements form an integral component of our transportation infrastructure. Depending on the type, while pavements can be made of different materials, cracks typically appear on asphalt or concrete roads. However, several factors affect the performance and lifespan of a pavement. This makes pavement cracking a significant concern for constructors. The core source of this is… Continue reading What factors affect pavement life?
The emergence of geosynthetic materials has brought about a noticeable change in civil engineering as they address the industry’s technical and economic challenges. These materials not only act as a protective barrier but also reinforce weak soils, improving stability and load-bearing capacity. In this blog post, we will discuss geogrid soil reinforcement, how geogrids strengthen… Continue reading How is soil reinforcement done using geogrids?
Geocell is a three-dimensional honeycomb design compacts the soil, providing a robust configuration in the infill and the pavement. This design also allows the geocell to divide the load and increase the bearing capacity uniformly. A geocell is manufactured using HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), an excellent agent for stabilizing weak or hazardous subgrades. This material minimizes… Continue reading What are the disadvantages of not using a geocell in road construction?
Meaning of precast concrete blocks A precast concrete block is a type of Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) commonly used in the fascia of reinforced soil structures. As the name suggests, precast concrete blocks are manufactured in a factory and cured in a controlled environment. They are typically modular in design. This allows them to fit precisely… Continue reading What are the benefits of using precast concrete blocks?
How does landfill capping work? Today, globally, waste management is one of the biggest problems facing urban governments. With the increasing consumption rate of goods and the manufacturing of those goods, a significant amount of waste is generated. When not managed properly, this waste can be hazardous to health and cause irreversible health issues. To… Continue reading How does landfill capping work?
What is landfill capping and why is it important? A landfill is a specially engineered area which is used by people to throw all the solid wastes, including industrial waste and construction debris, before burying them. Landfills are massive man made depressions constructed to minimize the impact on environmental and public health by containing the… Continue reading What is landfill capping and why is it important?
