Geoquest Products offers the ArmaLynk ultra high strength geogrid for basal reinforcement and ground stabilization applications.
Our ArmaLynk line provides engineers and builders with a straightforward and full-service approach for procuring ultra high performance geogrids. Our geogrid performance properties are easily identifiable to specify for use on projects of all types in all construction sectors.
Applications
Embankments on Soft Soils
ArmaLynk is used as layered soil reinforcement for building embankments on poor subsoils to improve stability. ArmaLynk helps reduce construction time and increase the project’s global performance. Embankment foundations reinforced with ArmaLynk can withstand high static and dynamic loads.
Embankments Over Subsidence & Void Bridging
ArmaLynk is used in reinforced fill layers to bridge any potential voids and cavities formed in the underlying soil and thus avoid sinkhole formation for any new structures, embankments, or roads built over such formations. Areas having historical sites with geological fissures and formations prone to subsidence (for example, mining sites) may require soil reinforcement measures with ArmaLynk.
Load Transfer Platforms & Piled Embankments
ArmaLynk is used in the transition layer for the distribution and transfer of loads to rigid inclusions such as stone columns or piles in soft foundations. This composite solution optimizes settlement control and the load-bearing performance of the rigid inclusions.
Ground Stabilization
ArmaLynk is used as basal reinforcement in layers or as a flexible mattress for ground improvement works for airport runways, railways, access roads, working platforms, hardstands, heavy-duty port pavements, and similar applications.
Reinforced Steep Slopes & Walls
ArmaLynk performs as a high-performance soil reinforcing element for building mechanically stabilized reinforced steep slopes and walls.
Landfill Expansions
ArmaLynk can be used effectively in combination with other Geoquest Products for landfill expansions to solve the ever growing problem of waste disposal, especially for raising dykes over existing landfills or increasing the capacity of existing landfills.
Land Reclamation
ArmaLynk, used in combination with other Geoquest Products’ ground stabilization techniques, facilitates all types of sustainable land reclamation and redevelopment, for example, the sludge lagoon remediation on soft soils.
What is ArmaLynk?
ArmaLynk is a high-strength PET geogrid used for various basal reinforcement and challenging ground stabilization needs in support of building roads, bridges, runways, railways, working platforms, and heavy-duty pavements.
The geogrid is made of co-extruded and oriented high tensile geosynthetic strips having discrete channels of closely packed high tenacity polyester (PET) yarns encased in a durable polyethylene sheath. These geosynthetic strips are welded to cross strips made from low-shrinkage yarns, and together create a strong orthogonal matrix.
ArmaLynk can be manufactured in extra-wide roll widths in customized lengths and edge strengths with high stiffness to optimize design and consumption for your application.
