Enkagrid MAX® Series of Rigid Polypropylene Geogrids
SERIES DESCRIPTION
The Enkagrid MAX® Series of rigid biaxial geogrids are comprised of highly oriented extruded polypropylene. The Enkagrid MAX® family of geogrids is the result of more than a decade of research, and backed by extensive independent testing and certification.
The engineered structure of Enkagrid MAX® geogrids applies cutting-edge manufacturing concepts such as the patented computer controlled laserwelding process. Using laser technology, the quality of the junction bonds is precisely controlled during the production process. This creates consistently rigid joints and high aperture stability modulus throughout the geogrid yielding MAXimum Traffic Benefit Ratio (TBR) in unpaved roads.
Enkagrid MAX® geogrids are supported with EnkaRoad® v 4.0 software, developed using the performance-based technology of the Giroud-Han Design Method for unpaved roads; and design methods for bearing capacity in permanent roads and ground-supported working platforms.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
In major projects around the world, Enkagrid MAX® geogrids have been employed to build demanding geo-technical structures, with contractors benefiting from the product's ease of handling; high integrity; and cost-effective performance, at times reducing the granular base fill material up to 50%.
- CUTTING-EDGE MANUFACTURING PROCESS: Innovative, computer controlled laser-welding assures high integrity throughout.
- MAXIMUM BEARING CAPACITY: Highly oriented extruded polypropylene bars deliver exceptionally high tensile modulus at very low strains.
- STABILIZATION and REINFORCEMENT: Consistently rigid joints and polypropylene bars deliver high Aperture Stability Modulus / Torsional Rigidity.
- DURABILITY: Superior resistance to installation damage assures long-term performance.
- COST SAVINGS: With strengths of 20, 30 and 40kN/m and roll width of 5 meters (16.4 ft), Enkagrid MAX® geogrids are the logical choice for MAXimum installation efficiency, and MAXimum cost-performance benefits. Savings in structural materials alone have been as much as 50%.
APPLICATIONS
The Enkagrid MAX® Series of rigid biaxial geogrids are used on construction challenges in soft soils around the world for:
- Base Reinforcement for haul roads, railways, highways, roads, runways, and parking lots
- Reinforcement for Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) structures or walls
- Working Platforms on weak subgrades
- Foundation Reinforcement
- Containment
