Uniaxial Geogrid for Road Construction for Thailand

Uniaxial geogrid, also known as plastic uniaxial geogrid or uniaxial plastic geogrid, is is a kind of high molecular polymer as the main raw material, adding certain anti-ultraviolet and anti-aging additives, after unidirectional stretching, the originally distributed chain-shaped molecules are reoriented and arranged in a linear state.

1 What Is BPM Uniaxial Geogrid for Road Construction?

BPM Uniaxial Geogrid is a product used in road construction that offers excellent reinforcement and stabilization properties. It is made from plastic materials, typically high-density polypropylene or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) resins. The manufacturing process involves hot extrusion, where the resins are transformed into thin plates. These plates are then punched with regular holes to form a grid pattern.

The punching patterns of the geogrid are stretched longitudinally to create the desired mesh structure, developing the designed tensile strength. This process ensures that the geogrid can withstand high loads and provide reliable reinforcement in various applications.

In road construction, BPM Uniaxial Geogrid is commonly used to enhance the performance of the road base and subgrade. By placing the geogrid within the layers of the road, it helps distribute the load more evenly, reduces the risk of soil settlement, and improves overall stability. This is particularly beneficial in areas where high long-term loads are expected.

The geogrid can also be paired with different facing elements in retaining wall and slope applications to achieve the desired structural and aesthetic conditions for the project. It provides additional support to soils, allowing them to stand at steep angles and prevent erosion or collapse.

Overall, BPM Uniaxial plastic geogrid is a versatile solution in road construction and other civil engineering projects, offering enhanced load-bearing capacity, soil stabilization, and long-term durability. Its use helps optimize the performance and longevity of road infrastructure, ensuring safer and more reliable transportation networks.
