Regional Information
Product specifications and applications by region
Regional Overview
GEOMODS 120 UNIAXIAL Geogrids are utilized in British Columbia for a range of applications, including soil reinforcement in mountainous terrains, landfill expansions, and subgrade stabilization for transportation infrastructure. Its high tensile strength makes it ideal for challenging projects in BC's diverse landscapes.
Notable Projects
Project 1
Coquihalla Highway Retaining Walls
Project 2
Vancouver Landfill Expansion
Climate Considerations
The product performs well across BC's wide range of climates, from coastal rainforest to interior desert, and is resilient to temperature extremes (-40°C to +30°C). Its high tensile strength and creep limited strength allow it to withstand freezing and thawing cycles common in BC winters.
Industry Applications
Mining
Used for slope stabilization in open pit mines and tailings dams.
Transportation
Applied in highway construction for subgrade stabilization and slope reinforcement, particularly in mountainous terrains.
Environmental
Ideal for landfill expansions, providing soil reinforcement and stability.
Regional Overview
In Alberta, GEOMODS 120 UNIAXIAL Geogrids find applications in oil & gas, mining, and transportation industries. Its high tensile strength and creep limited strength are particularly suited to Alberta's challenging subarctic climate and heavy industrial use.
Notable Projects
Project 1
Fort McMurray Oil Sands Project
Project 2
Highway 63 Subgrade Stabilization
Climate Considerations
The product performs well in Alberta's harsh winter conditions, withstanding temperatures as low as -40°C. Its tensile strength helps to mitigate the effects of spring breakup on reinforced structures.
Industry Applications
Oil And Gas
Used in the oil sands industry for access roads and pad construction, providing ground stability in areas with soft subgrades.
Mining
Utilized for slope reinforcement in mine tailings dams.
Transportation
Employed in road construction for subgrade stabilization, particularly important for Alberta's heavy truck traffic.
