The soil volume consists of a layered matrix of high-strength geosynthetic \u201cstrip\u201d soil reinforcements and compacted select backfill. The cornerstone of Terre Arm\u00e9e\u2019s innovation and R&D lies in our wide selection of industry-certified geosynthetic soil strip reinforcements, welded wire facing elements and connections. Our professional engineers work with you in analyzing your specific project details to develop the optimal design to meet your requirements.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
For instance, based on the characteristics of the intended backfill to be used, load factors, required service life and other considerations, engineers select from our four main categories of geosynthetic soil reinforcing strips:<\/p>\n
> GeoStra<\/b>p<\/b><\/span>™<\/span>:<\/b> coated polyester (PET) strips without high-adherence edges, best for low pH backfill<\/p>\n > HA GeoStrap<\/b>™<\/b><\/span>:<\/b> coated polyester (PET) strips with high-adherence edges, best for low pH backfill<\/p>\n > EcoStrap™:<\/b> coated polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) strips without high-adherence edges, best for high pH backfill<\/span><\/p>\n > HA EcoStrap™:<\/b> coated polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) strips with high-adherence edges, best for high pH backfill<\/p>\n From the four reinforcing strip categories listed above, engineers optimize the design even further by selecting among various intermediate grades in terms of strip strength (25kN to 100kN), and density (5mm to 9mm).<\/p>\n The welded wire facing elements are also optimized in terms of variable bar diameters and grid spacings. Engineers can select between galvanized facings and hardware or ungalvanized steel based on the required service life and environmental conditions.<\/p>\n Geotrel\u00ae is used to build both permanent and temporary civil structures. Some examples of common applications:<\/p>\n > <\/b>Natural risks protection:<\/b><\/a> Geotrel\u00ae barriers are well known for constructing rock fall and avalanche protection. These are reliable structures that permit both high energy levels and multiple impacts to be controlled.<\/p>\nApplications for GeoTrel\u00ae<\/h2>\n
