Regional Information
Product specifications and applications by region
Regional Overview
In British Columbia, the GEOMODS 100 Uniaxial Geogrids is primarily utilized for civil engineering projects like retaining walls, reinforced slopes, and embankments over soft soils. With its high ultimate tensile strength and long-term design strength, it is particularly effective in mountainous terrain where stabilization is paramount.
Notable Projects
Project 1
Sea-to-Sky Highway retaining walls
Project 2
Reinforced slopes for British Columbia's Mining operations
Climate Considerations
The GEOMODS 100 Uniaxial is highly durable and resistant to temperature variations, performing well in BC's climate, which ranges from -40°C to +30°C. Its molecular structure remains stable and provides consistent performance even in low temperatures.
Industry Applications
Mining
In BC's robust mining industry, GEOMODS 100 Uniaxial is used for creating stable embankments, preventing soil erosion, and supporting load-bearing structures.
Transportation
The product is useful in constructing retaining walls and reinforced slopes for highways in mountainous regions, such as the Sea-to-Sky Highway.
Environmental
Its use in landfill expansions and subgrade stabilization assists in environmental protection by reducing soil erosion and contamination.
Regional Overview
In the Alberta region, GEOMODS 100 Uniaxial Geogrids are widely used in oil & gas, mining, and transportation projects. Their high tensile strength and durability make them an excellent choice for subgrade stabilization, embankments over soft soils, and landfill expansions.
Notable Projects
Project 1
Oil sands extraction sites
Project 2
Alberta Highway 63 expansion
Climate Considerations
Alberta's extreme temperatures, ranging from -40°C to +30°C, pose no issue for the GEOMODS 100 Uniaxial. Its high molecular weight and carboxyl end group ensure its performance and stability even in harsh winter conditions.
Industry Applications
Oil And Gas
For Alberta's oil and gas sector, the geogrids are used in constructing access roads and worksites, reducing the need for aggregate and ensuring stable, safe surfaces.
Mining
The product's strength and versatility make it ideal for mining applications, offering reliable ground stabilization and load distribution.
Transportation
The GEOMODS 100 Uniaxial is used in the construction and maintenance of highways, particularly in areas with soft soils or high loads such as Highway 63.
