THRACE Geogrids & Geocomposites

Thrace Group biaxial geogrids are manufactured from polypropylene (PP) sheets using the extrusion method of punching a pattern of holes, followed by stretching in both directions under controlled temperature, in order to reach the material's tensile characteristics. The geogrid composites are produced by heat bonding the geogrids with any type of the Thrace Group Nonwoven geotextiles. Thrace Group Geogrids and Geocomposites can be used both to decrease the fill material thickness and to increase the bearing capacity of the underlying soil material. The apertures of the biaxial geogrids aid in aggregate interlock thus allowing for effective reinforcement and soil confinement. Geogrids can also be used to construct mattresses to be placed on soft soils. Geogrids and Geocomposites are offered for various applications such roads, railways, paving, landfill, erosion control. They are manufactured at one of Thrace’s Nonwovens & Geosynthetics S.A. facilities that have achieved ISO 9001 certification for its systematic approach to quality, as well as ISO 14001 for its safe environmental practices.
