Product Information

A high-quality exterior design is necessary for any project, including new construction and renovations of older homes. While many people spend a lot of time considering the landscaping and colours of their homes, one very essential focal point—the driveway—is frequently overlooked. We acquire what is referred to as a “compacted” layer when these spaces are closed over time and wear. As a result, there are fewer substrate gaps, which makes it more challenging to drain water after severe rains. If the drainage system becomes too inadequate, water will start to pool on (or beneath) the driveway, leading to a variety of issues, such as eroding material and sinking foundations. There are a few varieties of geogrids and they each have their own applications. This article covers everything you need to know about geogrid. Customers can use whichever aggregate they prefer with our erosion control product, but for vehicle loads or heavy pedestrian traffic, Vodaland recommends crashed stone as the only usable option. The best size of gravel for use with our geocell/geo grids for erosion control is 3/4-inch.

Most connecting roads, farm to market roads, haul roads, access roads and temporary roads have no paved surface. Or they’ll have a thin, non-structural spray and chip surface for waterproofing anddust control. Unsurfaced roadsdepend on unbound layers to protect the subgrade and maintain a smooth road surface. Fun Fact: Typically, 200 to 300 earthquakes are detected in the UK by the British Geological Survey each year. While most of them can’t be felt, the vibrations they send through the ground can be strong enough to shake the soil a bit. Over time and hundreds of repeated shakings, these small tremors can cause enough movement in the soil to weaken its load-bearing capabilities. However small a problem this might be in the UK, having Geogrid in place can still protect your structures from it. Can Geogrid be used as a grass support system? 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. Despite their variances, the three nevertheless have one thing in common: they all gain from further reinforcement. Geotechnology is the most effective way to provide the project with this extra support. geocells, more particularly.Aside from this, the strongest (and most expensive) driveway options are often those made of concrete. Despite the fact that this endurance is a selling factor, many people find it difficult to pay the higher price compared to alternative materials. Both concrete and paver driveways are expensive to build since they require a lot of labour and additional materials in addition to high material costs. Uniaxial geogrids are designed to offer maximum stress resistance in a single direction, hence being called UNI-axial. This type of geogrid is formed through the stretching of ribs in the machine direction, giving it a high tensile strength along that axis with, typically, rectangular apertures rather than square. Uniaxial geogrids are usually more economical than the other types of geogrid because they are the simplest design to manufacture. However, they aren’t suitable for ground stabilisation applications, such as under pavements and roads, where stresses must be dispersed in both directions. What they are perfectly suited for, however, are wall and slope applications where the primary reinforcement needs to be against the forces pointing either towards the face of a wall or down a slope. Structures such as retaining walls, steep earthen slopes, landfill liner systems, and soft soil embankments can all benefit from geogrid reinforcement. There are several different types of geogrid along with the varying strengths that manufacturer’s produce for each. Uniaxial, biaxial, and triaxial geogrids are the main types of geogrids and are used for different applications.

While Uniaxial and Biaxial are the two primary types of geogrid that you will find supplied by most manufacturers, there are also two alternatives worth noting: 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. All of our GD Gravel and GD Grass grids have flexibility (resistance to fracture), tensile strength and maximum shearing load (thank the bees for these last 2).Depending on the shape of your driveway, this is a pretty simple task, especially if you have staked and roped your driveway. TRUEGRID produces pavers with a 100%-permeability, allowing them to handle very heavy rainfall without flooding or causing runoff. TRUEGRID makes the highest quality permeable pavers for gravel driveways, with their pavers able to last up to 60 years despite requiring almost no maintenance. TRUEGRID Makes the Best permeable Pavers, Hands Down In some situations, there may be a requirement to increase the service life of the pavement by the inclusion of a geogrid for a fixed pavement depth.

Compared to other geotextile products, geogrids can feel quite stiff. This is because the polymer material is effectively stretched out to create a high tensile strength in one or both rib directions, commonly known as the machine (or longitudinal) and transverse (or cross) directions. This, along with the strength of the joints, or nodes, where the ribs intersect, is key to the success of any geogrid. The material that fills up each aperture bears against the ribs that contain it, transmitting the load along the connected ribs via the junctions and distributing the load over a wider area. This only works if the ribs and the junctions are strong enough to withstand the tension.Make sure to account for compaction factors for your gravel. A typical number is approximately 0.88 – meaning you will need approximately 12% MORE gravel than the volume of your cross section (due to compacted gravel being more dense than uncompacted gravel). Ask your gravel supplier for their recommendations as all gravel is different. The grass will then grow through the pavers and render them nearly invisible, depending on how short you like to cut your lawn. This prevents grass from being torn up and ruts from developing as you park and drive on your lawn. Residential Parking Lots– It is important within cities that there is appropriate water drainage. These grids can be used to create residential parking areas with plenty of water drainage. Manufactured in the UK and Europe, the GeoGrid mat is made from 100% recycled premium high-density polyethylene. Because the patented cellular design allows for easy dispersal of excess rain and floodwater, GeoGrid is perfect for areas that are prone to flooding or other water dispersion problems and it can integrate seamlessly and safely into Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS)
