MonoAxial GeoGrids
Geogrids are used mostly for reinforcement purposes being their peculiar structure able to provide the necessary strength to reinforce the filling material.
Monoaxial type are characterized by having a main tensile strength, normally in the MD direction, where the CMD performances are reduced to minimum as requested by the manufacturing geogrid technology.
Maccaferri range is very specialized where each family has been specifically designed and developed to target at best the necessary requirements (not only from the technical point of view – mechanical performances in the short and long term, durability, interaction with the soil – but also from a sustainability prospective – impact on the environment, recycling or reuse etc).
The ParaProduct types represent the excellence available by Maccaferri (the all products are BBA certified) and are tailored as:
ParaGrid™
High tenacity core with a thick PE coating with strength from 30 to 200 kN/m to be used in standard soil reinforcement applications (mostly retaining structures) in any soil including aggressive ones characterized by high values of ph
ParaGrid™ HF
Similar to ParaGrid as structure but mostly used in combination with Terramesh units as primary reinforcement. Their strength varies from 90 to 250 kN/m and can be used in any soil including aggressive ones characterized by high values of ph
ParaLink™
Again a strip based structure mostly used in basal reinforcement applications (but not exclusively) as piled embankment foundations, sink holes application or foundation on soft soils. Their strength varies from 300 to 1600 kN/m and can be used in any soil including aggressive ones characterized by high values of ph
ParaDrain™
Similar to ParaGrid but with a draining capacity in the MD direction obtained by shaping the strips with a channel profile closed by a geotextile filter. This unique composite is designed to be used with very thin or cohesive soils in very demanding geotechnical situations.
Paragrid™ W
An enhanced high performance knitted geogrid characterized by a very high modulus and the lowest reduction factors. Designed for standard soil reinforcement application with a specific focus on segmental wall applications. This family is suitable for use with standard soils characterized by 4</=ph</=9
