Regional Information
Product specifications and applications by region
Regional Overview
In British Columbia, GEOMODS 180 UNIAXIAL is primarily used for soil reinforcement in areas with high seismic activity and steep slopes, such as the Coastal Mountain range. It aids in the construction of stable retaining walls and reinforced slopes, providing additional strength and reducing the risk of landslides.
Notable Projects
Project 1
Sea to Sky Highway Retaining Wall Reinforcement
Project 2
Slope Stabilization in Kootenay National Park
Climate Considerations
GEOMODS 180 UNIAXIAL performs excellently in BC's varied climate. Despite temperatures ranging from -40°C to +30°C, the product maintains its tensile strength and stability, thanks to its high molecular weight and carboxyl end group.
Industry Applications
Mining
In BC's mining sector, GEOMODS 180 UNIAXIAL is used for subgrade stabilization and retaining walls, reducing the risk of ground movement and collapse in mining operations.
Transportation
GEOMODS 180 UNIAXIAL is essential in BC's transportation infrastructure, used for road reinforcement on mountainous highways and bridges to prevent landslides and ensure road safety.
Environmental
In environmental projects, it's used for landfill expansions, helping to contain waste materials and prevent environmental contamination.
Regional Overview
In Alberta, GEOMODS 180 UNIAXIAL is extensively used in the oil & gas industry for ground stabilization and reinforcement. It's also used in transportation projects, particularly in winter construction and during spring breakup.
Notable Projects
Project 1
Fort McMurray Oil Sands Ground Stabilization
Project 2
Trans-Canada Highway Reinforcement
Climate Considerations
Despite the extreme temperature fluctuations in Alberta, from -40°C in winter to +30°C in summer, GEOMODS 180 UNIAXIAL retains its performance characteristics, providing consistent and reliable soil reinforcement.
Industry Applications
Oil And Gas
In Alberta's oil & gas industry, GEOMODS 180 UNIAXIAL is used in the construction of drilling pads and access roads, helping to stabilize the ground in the oil sands and prevent structural failures.
Mining
Similar to its use in BC, GEOMODS 180 UNIAXIAL is used in Alberta's mining industry for subgrade stabilization, particularly in open-pit mines where ground stability is crucial.
Transportation
For Alberta's transportation projects, GEOMODS 180 UNIAXIAL is used to reinforce roads and highways during winter construction and spring breakup, ensuring the roads remain safe and stable despite the challenging weather conditions.
