Geogrid is used to reinforce:
Dyke;
Roadbed;
Side slope;
Tunnel wall;
other reinforcing construction works.
Benefits:
1. Increase the bearing capacity of the roadbed and foundation and prolong their service life.
2. Prevent road surface and foundation from sinking or flawing, keep clean and beautiful ground surface.
3. Convenient construction saves time and labor, reduce mounting time and decrease maintenance expense.
4. Prevent culverts from flawing.
5. Enhance earth slope and prevent water loss and soil erosion.
6. Decrease underlayer thickness and save manufacturing cost.
7. Enhance the stability of side slope turf net patch to improve greening.
8. replac wire netting used in mine as intermediate ceiling netting.

Gabion Retaining Wall Construction
Drawing:
Notes:
All dimensions are in mm
Gabion wall made up of gabion mattress and biaxial geogrid BX2020 PP or equivalent.
Gabions are made with 250mm to 50mm norminal size hard stones.
Gabion units are tied with adjacent units.
Gabion wall to be constructed after making trench of minimum 1.0m deep below river bed.
Bank of river edge is cut to slope not steeper than as shown in drawing. Bottom of slope shall be compacted well. Slope may be made with available local soil. Constructed bank slope should have minimum 95% standard proctor density.

Geogrid for Mining Projects
The tensile strength of pp geogrid is higher than that of the diamond mesh used in mining.
Features:
High-strength material and the mesh joint is firm
Low extension: Low unit extension, average stress, and avoid the appearance of the tuck net effectively.
Light: Weigh about 1kg/m2, with less labor intensity, improved working efficiency, and simple installation.
Safety: Static resistant, inflaming retarding, avoid the appearance of the electric sparkle effectively.
Erosion resistance: PP and PE surface ensures long service life and no invalidation caused by the erosion.
