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 constructions require structures which can perform a variety of functions for a long life cycle without compromising the quality. Geogrids are manufactured from polymers and are the perfect archetype… Continue reading What is the need for geogrids and choosing the right brand?
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 erodible soils require more attention and protection measures like 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 within the subgrade material itself or as a layer between the subgrade and base, based on the… Continue reading What is the function of a geogrid in a pavement?
A retaining wall is defined as a structure that holds back the soil or other materials from collapsing. Since they handle lateral pressure, these structures need to be stable, must handle pressure despite changing climatic conditions and survive installation and regular wear and tear. These structures are erected to maintain soil stability on one side,… 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 appear on paved asphalt roads or paved concrete roads typically. However, several factors affect the performance and lifespan of a pavement. This makes pavement cracking a significant concern for constructors. The core source… 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. Geogrids are the backbone of this industry. These materials serve not only as a protective shield but also reinforce weak soils for stability and increase load-bearing capacity. In this blog post, we… Continue reading How is soil reinforcement done using geogrids?
If you’re in the midst of a construction project in a coastal area, prone to high water saturation and weak subgrades, what would you typically do for soil reinforcement? You may choose compaction, i.e. adding more soil to improve density. The other traditional option might be to add drainage by creating culverts, and or other… Continue reading What are the disadvantages of not using a geocell in road construction?
Have you driven past bridges and noted these blocks that fit like jigsaw puzzles under the bridge providing support? If you have –you have seen a pre-cast concrete block being used onsite. This is one of its most common applications as abutment walls, and/or retaining walls. Meaning of precast concrete blocks A precast concrete block… Continue reading What are the benefits of using precast concrete blocks?
How does landfill capping works? Today, globally, waste management is one of the biggest challenges in managing urban waste. With the increasing consumption rate of various goods and the manufacturing of those goods, a significant amount of waste is generated. If not managed properly, this waste can be hazardous to health and cause irreversible health… Continue reading How does landfill capping works?
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 household garbage, 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… Continue reading What is landfill capping and why is it important?
