What is Polypropylene Biaxial Geogrid
PP Biaxial Geogrid are made from high quality polypropylene material. The Geogrid is carefully designed to offer alternative solution in soil stabilization and reinforcement structures.
Benefits of Polypropylene Biaxial Geogrid
Below are some of the benefits of Polypropylene (PP) Biaxial Geogrid:
- It is highly durable, as it’s highly resistant to bio-degradation, UV ration and chemical reactions.
- The construction is very strong and stiff compared to other geogrids.
- It has reduced creep, as it suffers minimal long-term deformation when subjected to sustained loads.
- PP Biaxial Geogrid is easy to transport and handle because it is lightweight.
- It is environment-friendly due to the recyclable nature of the polypropylene material.
- PP Biaxial Geogrid is a cost-effective way of stabilizing and reinforcing soil.
Applications of PP Biaxial Geogrid
The following are some of PP Biaxial Geogrid notable applications:
- Soil stabilization
- Slope reinforcement and wall retention
- Embankment and subgrade reinforcement
- Landfill and waste containment
- Construction of roads and pavements
- Land reclamation and mining activities
- Control of soil erosion
Limitations of Polypropylene Biaxial Geogrid
Here are a few setbacks to consider:
- PP Biaxial Geogrid cannot be used in very high temperature settings. PP has low melting point
- Under prolonged exposure to UV radiation or sunlight, it is susceptible to degradation.
- It is not fit for use in moisture-prone environments as Polypropylene is vulnerable to hydrolysis.
- It is not suitable for use under sustained loads. In comparison to certain geosynthetic materials, Polypropylene has a higher susceptibility to creep.
- PP Biaxial Geogrid may not be suitable for applications that involve intensive exposure to chemicals.
