Preparing the subgrade in warehouse areas and container stockyards is a must if you want to avoid problems later. The subgrade has to carry large static loads from stacked containers as well as dynamic loads from vehicles and heavy equipment. If it is not prepared properly, problems such as significant and uneven settlement will keep appearing. This can cause greater damage to the buildings and containers above and disrupt operations on site.
To solve this, reinforcement with geosynthetic products such as high-tensile geotextile and geogrid, or a geocell confinement system, can be a very effective solution.
Benefits
Benefits
- Geotextile and geogrid provide high tensile strength, spread loads over a wider area and minimize lateral deformation
- Geocell confines the soil, making it denser and stiffer so loads are spread over a wider area
- Combined geosynthetics can reduce the volume of fill needed to reach the design bearing capacity.
