What to Consider When Choosing a Geogrid?

When developing solutions using a cellular geogrid or geogrid, several challenges must be addressed. It is crucial to accurately assess the expected loads and the type of traffic the area will experience. Additionally, factors such as slope inclination and fill material type play a significant role in ensuring stability. Soil and water conditions must also be carefully considered, as they have a direct impact on the structural integrity of the construction. Throughout the entire planning process, it is essential to optimize costs while meeting the required technical specifications and adapting to local climate conditions.

Types of Geomaxx® Geogrids and Their Applications

The Geo Globe Poland portfolio comprises three basic variants of Geomaxx® cell geogrids:

- GKS (small cells) - ideal for demanding technical applications

- GKM (medium cells) - optimized for medium slopes

GKL (large cells) - for gentle slopes

Although width is an important aspect of a cell, its size is equally important. All are available in honeycomb form - the small cell (GKS-330, GKS 356 and GKS-375) is supplied in the sizes 203×246 mm, 224×259 mm and 250×260 mm. The medium cell (GKM-462), on the other hand, has an optimum size of 285×345 mm. Large cells (GKL-660, GKL-712 and GKL-750), on the other hand, are available in the sizes 406×492 mm, 448×518 mm and 500×520 mm. 

Small Cells – The Ideal Solution for the Most Demanding Projects!

GKS-330/356 is the most versatile variant of a cellular geogrid in the Geomaxx® product portfolio. It is often used to reinforce the substructure of access roads and parking lots and to stabilize slopes with an inclination of 40-60 degrees. It is also indispensable for the construction of retaining structures. It is particularly suitable for the construction of landscaped parking lots and ecological areas as well as for the protection of areas exposed to erosion.

The height of the GKS geonet is always selected according to the expected load. The 5 cm variant is used for footpaths and light recreational structures. A height of 7.5 cm is suitable for cycle paths and parking avenues. A geogrid height of 10 cm is already required for car and van traffic. A height of 15 cm is recommended for vans and regular traffic. The highest version of 20 cm is intended for heavy equipment such as trucks, forklift trucks or emergency vehicles.

GKM-462 – Geogrid in 7.5 cm, 10 cm, and 15 cm Heights

The GKM-462 is a special solution that is ideal for stabilizing slopes of 30-40 degrees. It is particularly suitable for the construction of low retaining structures up to 1.5 m high. It is also well suited for securing slopes and embankments as well as for the construction of green walls and noise barriers. The system is available in three height variants: 7.5 cm, 10 cm and 15 cm, which enable precise adaptation to the requirements of a specific project.

GKL-660 – The Perfect Choice for Gentle Slopes

GKL-660 is a special solution for stabilizing slopes of less than 30 degrees. It is ideal for landscaping projects and the construction of green spaces where a harmonious combination of structural stability and vegetation growth is crucial.
