Carthage Mills UX Rigid Uniaxial Geogrids

uniaxial geogrid

SERIES DESCRIPTION

Carthage Mills’ UX Rigid Uniaxial Geogrids are manufactured using select grades of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) resins. These resins are highly oriented and also resist elongation (creep) when subjected to high tensile loads for long periods of time. Carthage UX Rigid Geogrids, manufactured from HDPE, provide high resistance to installation damage as well as chemical or biological long-term degradation, and also have shown no degradation in pH situations as high as 12. These products can be used in both dry and wet-cast environments.

HIGH TENSILE LOADS

Carthage Mills’ UX Rigid Uniaxial Geogrids come in two versions for two distinct Reinforcement applications: “S” for slopes, and “W” for walls. UX Rigid Geogrids can carry high tensile loads applied in one direction (along the roll length). Therefore, their open aperture structure interlocks with fill material to provide superior load transfer from the soil to the geogrid.

Carthage UX Rigid Geogrids achieve their strength by punching as well as drawing a homogenous polymer sheet. This results in a uniform, consistent product. Subsequently, these products do not require weaving, coating or welding to maintain the product’s integrity. This unique process provides superior junction strength and as a result high strength connections to other rolls of geogrid or facing components. Easy to handle as well as install, Carthage UX Rigid Uniaxial Geogrids are used for high-strength soil reinforcement in wall and slope applications.
