Reinforcement geogrid SECUGRID® HS

for ground stabilizationfor foundationfor public works

They are laid geogrids made of high tenacity polyester filaments with an extruded polyethylene protective coating and welded junctions. Secugrid® HS combines high tensile strength and low creep tendency with extreme robustness and resistance. Secugrid® HS was developed specifically for geotechnical applications in earthworks where tensile strengths of more than 400 kN/m are required. Embankment on soft soil The high-strength Secugrid® HS basal reinforcement increases the stability of embankment structures on soft soils – during construction phases and in the final state. Increased stability of embankments due to high tensile strengths of up to 1200 kN/m Faster construction progress due to shorter consolidation periods Mitigation of differential settlements in case of a heterogeneous subsoil Long-term stability (low creep tendency/high long-term resistance) Load transfer platforms over piles The design of reinforced load transfer platforms over piles is used to control embankment stability and settlements. The piles are transferring the load of the embankment through the soft compressible soil layer to a deeper, firm foundation. The relief of the soft soil is achieved by load distribution within the reinforced base course towards the loadbearing elements. Larger pile spacing (due to high tensile strength) Absorption of lateral thrust forces eliminates the need for raking piles Mitigation of differential settlements No waiting time for consolidation processes Bridging of sinkholes and mining voids Secugrid® HS is installed below embankments or fill layers in order to limit the amount of surface deformation caused by subsidence.
