Environmental
GEOMODS 400 UNIAXIAL can be used in land reclamation projects and erosion control, particularly in areas with soft soil.
Regional Overview
In Alberta, GEOMODS 400 UNIAXIAL is typically used in oil & gas, mining, and transportation projects. Its high tensile strength makes it suitable for soil reinforcement in retaining walls, reinforced slopes, and subgrade stabilization, as well as for constructing embankments over soft soils.
Notable Projects
Project 1
Fort McMurray Oil Sands Project
Project 2
Edmonton Ring Road Construction
Climate Considerations
With its ability to perform in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +30°C, GEOMODS 400 UNIAXIAL is ideal for Alberta's harsh winters and warm summers. It maintains its integrity and performance during spring breakup and winter construction.
Industry Applications
Oil And Gas
For Alberta's oil and gas industry, GEOMODS 400 UNIAXIAL is beneficial in constructing access roads and drilling pads in oil sands projects.
Mining
In the mining sector, the geogrid is used for slope reinforcement in open-pit mines and tailings pond stabilization.
Transportation
GEOMODS 400 UNIAXIAL is critical in the construction and maintenance of Alberta's extensive road network, providing soil reinforcement in highway construction.
