In the West, geogrids began to be used in the mid-1980s.
The US Army commissioned their development, but mass production started after the popular operation "Desert Storm" in 1991, where they were used to create roads for tanks in the sand. The "pioneers" of this business became the Americans "Presto Products Company", who obtained an international patent for the Geoweb geogrid (`Geoweb` trademark) soil stabilization system and production technology (plastic strip welding process).
Continuation of the article
It is worth noting that the Presto company`s patent on geogrid manufacturing technology has expired by now. US laws stipulate that it lasts 15 years, after which the innovation becomes public domain.
The main advantages of geogrids are longevity, resistance to tearing, the ability to evenly distribute load, and resistance to aggressive environmental factors – moisture, temperature fluctuations, chemical exposure, mold, bacterial fungi, and ultraviolet radiation.
The use of geogrids allows not only to qualitatively strengthen the soil, but also to significantly extend the life cycle of various construction projects, increase safety on roads, and effectively resist erosion and the washing away of the soil surface in natural conditions.
