Frequent or heavy pedestrian or
vehicle access can cause ground to become damaged - sometimes beyond repair -
creating an unattractive environment and all manner of access problems. Find
out how ground reinforcement grids such as GeoGrid® prevent such damage and
provide extra support.
For business owners or events
managers, managing vehicle or pedestrian access should be a high priority. The
compression caused by vehicle and pedestrian access can lead to waterlogged,
muddy ground which can be difficult to restore, and perhaps impossible if the
ground suffers such damage on a regular basis. Not only that, but the resulting
poor drainage can lead to other areas becoming flooded or waterlogged, or cars
and pedestrians having to take alternative routes which can be inconvenient and
spread the damage.
The easiest way to protect ground
from such damage, provide water dispersion and give a stronger, firmer surface
is to invest in a cellular paver such as GeoGrid®; a form of ground
reinforcement grid which supports your ground.
GeoGrid® is made from connected
geometric shapes of recycled polyethylene which is laid onto the ground and
filled in with gravel or topsoil and grass. It provides an aesthetically
pleasing way of providing ground reinforcement to reduce the harmful effect of
pedestrians and vehicles, while encouraging water dispersion and providing a
sustainable urban drainage system. The grids are available in a choice of
colours, enabling you to match your ground reinforcement to the environment,
and when filled in with grass the grids are virtually invisible.
If you are considering ground
reinforcement for car park or access roads, you may be less concerned about the
visibility of your ground reinforcement. You may opt instead to take advantage
of GeoGrid®s optional marker block inserts, which can be used to mark disabled
signs, routes or car parking spaces.
GeoGrid® has a unique patented
design which is robust and can take huge loads. The cellular paver grid can
withstand a 30 tonne axle or point load, and has optimum expansion and contraction
so the plastic springs back to its original form after taking a weight. The
interconnecting grids are quick and simple to install, staying securely in
place and with a guarantee of up to 10 years field life.
This form of ground protection is
durable yet lightweight, non-slip and weatherproof, and designed and made in
the UK. Ground reinforcement grids can be installed for permanent or temporary
use, making them ideal for a huge number of applications. Common uses of
GeoGrid® include applications on slopes, embankments, car parks, access roads,
infiltration basins and pedestrian pathways. So if you own a business or are
planning an event, dont forget to protect your ground the easy way with
GeoGrid® ground reinforcement.
Zigma Ground Solutions are world
leaders in supplying ground protection, including ground reinforcement grids
such as GeoGrid®. Cellular paving systems such as these enable you to provide a
high quality surface which is strong, less prone to damage and offers more
support for vehicle and pedestrian access.
