MINING ENGINEERING GEOTER F

GEOTER F - Reinforcement of access trails

Use

Mining conditions are extremely complex and can pose significant risks in terms of the safety of infrastructures and individuals, as well as production efficiency. Unpaved roads are subject to very heavy loads on a daily basis due to the weight of operating machinery. As a result, access routes quickly develop substantial deformations which can result in a sudden halt in site deliveries.

To allow the repair of access tracks, the use of the GEOTER® F reinforcing geogrid is particularly recommended to improve the soil’s bearing capacity in the mine, thereby guaranteeing continuity of production.

Its separation function is performed by the woven substrate with constant aperture, regardless of the product’s strength, with no risk of clogging.

GEOTER® F has an immediate tensioning feature, allowing it to instantly absorb stress and limit initial deformation during tensioning.

Benefits

  • High tenacity with elongation at break inferior to 11%
  • Controlled deformation, even under high strains
  • Controlled filtration function
  • Excellent permeability
