In construction of roads and railways, reduced land take, convenient construction and good safety

margins at reduced cost can be achieved by the use of EARTHMATE GRID geogrids

reinforcement. In environmentally sensitive areas, steep vegetated slopes can often be built in

place of the hard-faced structures that would be needed with conventional techniques.

Failed slope reinstatementThe material of the failed slope can be excavated and reused with EARTHMATE GRID

reinforcement to reinstate the failed area. This process has low cost and minimal impact on the

local environment.

Reinstatement of spent quarriesEARTHMATE GRID geogrids reinforcement; safe structures and permanent vegetation can be

established to reintegrate spent quarries into the local environment.

Environment protection of slopesEARTHMATE geogrids reinforcement can retain the face soil and encourage growth of vegetation.

Natural vegetation will cover the whole facing, and special seeding coverage can be sowed to

conform to surroundings if needed.

Walls/Abutments Reinforcement

An EARTHMATE Geogrid reinforced wall is composed of Geogrid, wall facing and fill. Because

of the resistance of EARTHMATE geogrids to chemical and biological attack and its interlock

with the fill, a wide range of fill materials may be used, including general backfill soil,

construction waste, pulverized fuel ash(FPA),etc. Reinforced walls can be constructed quickly

with simple technology at low cost. Wall and slope faces can be designed economically to suit the

clients' requirement and to blend into the environment. Wall surface may be of brick, stone or

fully vegetated.

EARTHMATE Geogrid reinforced walls and abutments are tough and elastic composite structures

of multiple layers of Geogrid and fill. They can accommodate base deformation and have

particularly good resistance to vibration and earthquakes. EARTHMATE Geogrid reinforcement

can improve the bearing capacity and factor of safety of a structure and reduce construction cost.

Landfill

EARTHMATE geogrids can be utilized with other geosynthetic materials in the base, cover,

temporary pavements and banks of landfill sites. The use of EARTHMATE geogrids can reduce

landfill costs, increase capacity and improve safety margins.

Resistance to Ultra-Violet Light:

A high level of resistance to UV light is given to EARTHMATE by the incorporation of ~ 2% of

weathering grade carbon black, well dispersed in the polymer matrix. These products may be used

for many years in exposed conditions.

Chemical and Biological Resistance:

EARTHMATE bi-axial geogrids are manufactured from polypropylene which is unaffected by all

chemicals including acids, alkalis and salts, normally found in soils. Also, it is not a nutrient,

therefore these not affected by microorganism in the soil.

EARTHMATE POLYESTER GEOGRID

Polyester Geogrid is a Knitting Geogrid, made of high tenacity PET yarns with PVC

coating. Earthmate Geosynthetics is capable of designing and manufacturing product precisely as

per requirements. The values given are indicative and correspond to average results obtained in

our laboratories and in testing institutes. The right is reserved to make changes without notice at

any time.

The Polyester Geogrid adopts industrial high tensile strength polyester yarn, and is manufactured

after completing a series of processes, such as preparation, woven, Post arrangement PVC coating

with high temperature, etc.

Raw material selection contains extreme significance. The industrial high tensile strength

polyester yam adopted in the products is manufactured by our company itself, the production lines

we adopt are entirely from Japanese Toray Company, TEK company, TMT Company, and the

German Saurer AlIma Company, the production capacity of industrial polyester yarn is 30,000

ton/year. Advanced production facility, efficient management polices, and market orientedphilosophies has earned honor within the industry, as well as acceptance from both domestic and

international clients, helping us become the leading brand in the country. Earthmate has invested

heavily in purchasing several worlds' first class Geosynthetic production facilities. Including 3

Wide High Speed Warp Preparation Machine, which is developed by the German Karl Mayer

Company. This adoption enables the possibility of producing large models of polyester knitting

geogrids. Further more, the possession of 7 RS3MSU-N knitting machines developed by German

Karl Mayer Company and COPCENTRA HS-2/ST Wholly Computerized and Wide Weft

Insertion Knitting Machine developed by German Liba Company, ensure us to satisfy the

international standard in weaving quality. The 5 meter width also reaches world's advanced

standard. The coating process adopts the 5.5 meter width Post Coating Facility from Tai Wan,

which ensures we have the capability of producing such polyester knitting geogrids with highly

PVC coating.
