Environmental
In environmental projects, GM BX COMPOSITE 4040-6NM is used for erosion control and slope stabilization, protecting BC's diverse ecosystems.
Regional Overview
In Alberta, GM BX COMPOSITE 4040-6NM has become a go-to product for a variety of construction projects. Its high tensile strength and radial stiffness make it especially useful in the province's oil & gas and mining industries.
Notable Projects
Project 1
Fort McMurray Oil Sands
Project 2
Highway 63 Twinning
Climate Considerations
Alberta's climate can be harsh, but this geogrid is designed to perform in temperatures as low as -40°C and as high as +30°C. It's particularly effective during the spring breakup, when thawing can make the ground unstable.
Industry Applications
Oil And Gas
GM BX COMPOSITE 4040-6NM is widely used in oil sands projects for access road construction and maintenance, as well as for soil stabilization around drilling sites.
Mining
In Alberta's mining sector, this geogrid is used for ground stabilization, reducing the risk of subsidence in and around the mines.
Transportation
This product is used extensively in road construction and reinforcement, particularly for highways that need to withstand heavy traffic and harsh weather conditions.
