Secugrid® Q

Secugrid® Q is a laid biaxial geogrid manufactured of extruded monolithic flat structured bars with welded rigid junctions.

Secugrid® Q Geogrids
are geogrids with square shaped apertures. The tensile strength in machine and cross machine direction is usually identical (in the same range). The mentioned numbers in the product name, e.g. 30/30 for Secugrid® 30/30 Q1 indicate the tensile strength [kN/m] in machine and cross machine direction as a 95 % confidence value.

Raw Material
Q geogrids can be manufactured with polyester (PET) or polypropylene (PP) bars. In the product definition the number behind the Q determines the type of raw material used for the bars, e.g. for Secugrid® 30/30 Q6 the 6 indicates that PET and for Secugrid® 30/30 Q1 the 1 indicates that PP is the specific raw material.

Aperture Size
The values in the technical data sheets of the aperture size of the grid mesh is typically the value measured from the inside side of one bar to the other.

Roll Imprint
For the identification of Secugrid® the geogrids are continuously imprinted (at least every 5 m). The imprint is carried out on bars in cross machine direction.

       Secugrid® in use.
 
To prevent settlements in the new construction of the storage site for wings of wind mills it was necessary to place a Secugrid 60/60 Q1 geogrid under the base course. To additionally improve its performance and reduce settlements Secugrid® was pre-stressed up to 2 %. In several areas a second reinforcement was necessary and Combigrid® 40/40 Q6/201 GRK 3 was used.

Construction of an up to 24 m high retaining wall (85° front face), where 50.000 m² of Secugrid® 80/20 R6 and 200/40 R6 reinforce 40,000 m³ of soil material. With this intelligent and innovative geosynthetic design a useless slope for buildings was created to 9,000 m² plateau for an individual master-plan.
