Regional Information
Product specifications and applications by region
Regional Overview
In British Columbia, the GEOMODS 80 UNIAXIAL Geogrids are utilized significantly in the mining and transportation sectors. Given BC's mountainous terrain, these geogrids provide essential reinforcement for slopes and retaining walls. The product's high tensile strength contributes to subgrade stabilization, making it suitable for road and railway construction projects.
Notable Projects
Project 1
Sea-to-Sky Highway Reinforcement
Project 2
Mount Polley Mine Reinforcement
Climate Considerations
Despite BC's diverse climates, which can range from -40°C to +30°C, the GEOMODS 80 UNIAXIAL Geogrids maintain their tensile strength and durability. They are resistant to damage from freeze-thaw cycles, an essential feature in BC's winter conditions.
Industry Applications
Mining
In BC's mining industry, these geogrids are used to reinforce embankments over soft soils and landfill expansions, providing safety and stability in the region's active mining sites.
Transportation
For transportation, the geogrids are applied in the construction and reinforcement of mountain highways and railways, ensuring long-term stability and durability in the face of BC's challenging topography.
Environmental
The GEOMODS 80 UNIAXIAL Geogrids are also used for environmental projects, such as erosion control in BC's coastal and mountainous regions.
Regional Overview
In Alberta, the GEOMODS 80 UNIAXIAL Geogrids are primarily used in the oil & gas and mining industries. Given Alberta's geology, the product's tensile strength and creep-limited strength make it ideal for subgrade stabilization and reinforcement of structures in oil sands operations and open-pit mining.
Notable Projects
Project 1
Fort McMurray Oil Sands Operation
Project 2
Grande Cache Coal Mine Reinforcement
Climate Considerations
The geogrids perform well in Alberta's harsh climate, which can fluctuate between -40°C and +30°C. They are resistant to damage from freeze-thaw cycles and maintain their structural integrity even during the spring breakup period.
Industry Applications
Oil And Gas
In Alberta's oil & gas industry, the geogrids are used for soil reinforcement in oil sands operations, contributing to the safe and efficient extraction of resources.
Mining
In the mining sector, they are used for embankments over soft soils and landfill expansions, providing stability and reducing the risk of landslides in open-pit mining operations.
Transportation
The geogrids are also used in transportation projects, such as the reinforcement of roads and highways in Alberta's rugged northern regions.
