In the 1960s, the percentage of waste that ended up in landfills was about 94%. Today, this number has reduced to 50% thanks to communication programs focused on recycling and reuse. Despite this reduction, the overall space available for landfills and waste management remains at a premium. Municipal governments, and waste management firms are constrained,… Continue reading How geogrids are used to create vertical landfills?

India’s highway system is one of the key drivers of its economy –a sprawling network that connects the length and breadth of the country. With such a vast expanse, connecting and constructing resilient highways across such a diverse landscape is fraught with challenges. As pioneers of the geosynthetic products space in India, we have led… Continue reading Geocells: paving the future of Indian highways

Bridges, as impressive structures as they are, can often face their toughest enemy: nature. These engineering wonders built near rivers are victims to soil erosion, scouring, water pressure, and other environmental issues that lead to foundation cracks. These cracks can lead to serious problems making the bridge unstable, disrupting traffic, and even putting people’s safety… Continue reading How StrataDrain™ Protects Foundations and Enhances Soil Stability

Geotextiles are used extensively in industrial as well as geotechnical fields. They find application in  construction for segments such as dikes, roads, embankments, and coastal protection projects. Geotextiles are favored as a product for their ability to serve multiple needs in a geotechnical context. The main functions of geotextiles –a permeable fabric– are soil layer… Continue reading Understanding geotextiles and their barrier function

Geogrid vs. Geotextile Civil engineers are the one deciding which category of geosynthetics they would want to employ in their projects since most geosynthetics have properties suited for specific purposes. And to exercise this fine expertise, one has to be well-told on all the nitty-gritty that separate one class of geosynthetics from the other. Geogrids… Continue reading Geogrids vs. Geotextiles: Choosing the Right Geosynthetic

Geogrids have been used in a number of applications for civil engineering projects. With a principle function of reinforcing soil, it finds uses across industries due to its tensile strength, and ability to balance loads, across a variety of subgrades. But did you know that the aperture of a geogrid is not fixed? What is… Continue reading Geogrid Aperture Sizes: Impact on Soil Reinforcement

As civil engineers, our mission extends beyond construction; it’s about laying the groundwork for enduring stability. Geogrids, with their exceptional soil reinforcement capabilities, have emerged as a cornerstone in our toolkit. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll navigate the intricacies of geogrid installation, a process that, when executed with precision, can significantly bolster the integrity of… Continue reading Comprehensive Guide to Geogrid Installation for Soil Stability

Knowing the load bearing capacity of the soil is one of the crucial steps in building a structure. Although it seems simple, it has great importance in the construction industry. To understand how it plays an important role, we first need to understand the soil’s load bearing capacity. In this blog, you will be able… Continue reading What is the load bearing capacity of soil?

What is soil stabilization? Soil stabilization involves alteration of the soil’s physical, chemical, or biological characteristics to improve its stability, shear strength, load-bearing capacity and other geotechnical features to render the terrain usable in construction. This process of transforming a soil’s physical properties falls under a branch of geotechnical engineering. This is done by reducing… Continue reading Soil stabilisation techniques: common methods and products

Geogrids are geosynthetic materials used for reinforcement and stabilizing soil structures. They have high tensile strength and a higher elastic modulus than soil, allowing them to distribute loads more effectively and provide better reinforcement in construction applications than they otherwise would. Geogrids can be used in soil reinforcement, reinforcement of retaining walls, slope stabilization, etc.… Continue reading What are the physical properties of geogrids?
