BASALT GEOGRID

CHARACTERISTICS

A geogrid is a flat roll of polymer material made from geosynthetics that has a mesh structure. Basalt geogrid is created from continuous lengths of basalt roving (threads that are not twisted) that are loosely stacked and sewn together with polyester thread. Basalt fibre possesses remarkably high resistance to chemically aggressive environments (5 times higher than fibreglass). As a result, it remains unharmed when exposed to salt solutions and can endure nearly all operating conditions without degrading its performance characteristics.

The “BASALT UZBEKISTAN” group of companies manufactures various types of basalt geogrids for different applications:

— 7×6 (facade)
— 25×8 (masonry)
— 25×25 (50×50) universal
— 40×40 (primer)
— 40×40 (asphalt)

DESCRIPTION

Basalt geogrid is a geosynthetic flat polymer roll material with a mesh structure. This material is produced from basalt roving of continuous length.

Currently, basalt geogrid is the most economical alternative to metal for several reasons:

– It has greater strength than metal;

– It is significantly lighter, making installation easier;

– It doesn’t rust or lead to concrete cracking;

– It is resistant to corrosion;

– It does not require frequent replacement.

The primary application of basalt geogrid is in reinforcing concrete. However, it is also used for various other purposes, such as:

– Insulating facades;

– Regulating humidity;

– Offering fire protection;

– Strengthening unpaved roads;

– Reinforcing foundations, sidewalks, and pathways;

– Protecting soil from erosion.

The key benefits of basalt geogrid include:

– Long-lasting durability

– Resistance to corrosion

– Eco-friendliness

– Lightweight design

– Ability to withstand various climatic conditions

Basalt Uzbekistan produces several types of basalt geogrid:

– 7×6 for facade;

– 25×8 for masonry;

– 25×25 (50×50) universal;

– 40×40 priming;

– 40×40 for asphalt.

FIELDS OF USE

• 7×6 facade

The basalt facade geogrid is utilized in building construction and repair for the following purposes:
– Facade insulation (alongside with basalt insulation);
– Humidity regulation;
– Protection from aggressive impact;
– Enhancing the facade (strengthening the plaster layer);
– Fire protection.

• 25×8 masonry

Masonry basalt geogrid is created to strengthen masonry: brick, stone, and cellular concrete blocks. Reinforcement provides the masonry with the following properties:
– Resistance to cracking;
– Enhanced frost resistance;
– Capability for concealed reinforcement;
– Resistance to aggressive environments.

• 25×25 (50×50) universal

The basalt universal geogrid can be applied in the following sectors:
– For strengthening primer roads;
– For building embankments and slopes;
– For reinforcing foundations, blind areas, sidewalks, and walkways;
– For the manufacturing of eco-block foundations;
– For strengthening slopes and terraces;
– In hydrotechnical construction;
– To protect the soil from erosion.

• 40×40 priming

Priming basalt geogrid is applied in construction and road building for the following purposes:
– For strengthening primer roads;
– For building primer embankments and slopes;
– For reinforcing foundations;
– For soil fixation;
– For enhancing road borders.

• 40×40 asphalt

What is basalt asphalt geogrid used for?

Basalt asphalt geogrid is applied in road construction and repairs for the following reasons:

– Enhancing the road surface (reinforcing asphalt concrete layers);
– Preventing asphalt settlement;
– Fortifying the base against damaging loads;
– Boosting frost resistance.
