ACEGrid® GG

Exceptional Tensile Strength at Low Strain and Superior Anti-Creep Performance Among PET Woven Geogrids

ACEGrid^® GG geogrids are manufactured using premium-quality, high-tenacity polyester yarns, ensuring outstanding mechanical performance. The grid structure includes engineered apertures that enhance soil interlock and allow water movement—key features for effective geotechnical performance. Thanks to ACE’s advanced manufacturing expertise, ACEGrid^® GG geogrids exhibit high tensile strength even at low strain levels. They are specifically designed to minimize deformation under load, maintaining structural stability over time. Edge integrity is also carefully considered during production, as strain concentration and failure often originate at the grid boundaries. With low elongation and excellent resistance to long-term deformation (creep), ACEGrid^® GG stands out as a high-performance reinforcement solution for demanding applications.

Outstanding Long-Term Design Strength (LTDS) proven by numerous tests from accredited laboratories and product certifications

ACEGrid^® GG geogrids are designed for high resistance to a variety of environmental factors, including UV, chemicals, and mechanical damage. They are uniformly coated with protective non-toxic substances, including oil-based coatings, to make the geogrid impervious to water and other liquids, further enhancing durability and performance. These coatings help prevent a reduction in tensile strength and other key properties caused by prolonged exposure to harsh conditions. The geogrids are highly stable and durable against UV light and weathering (proven in both lab and outdoor tests). Along with good resistance to creep, chemicals, and installation damage, ACEGrid^® GG geogrids are provided with remarkable LTDS in the global market. After product certifications, the geogrids undergo rigorous test procedures, such as tensile, pullout, and oxidation tests, to ensure their long-term performance. A common concern in geogrid applications is long-term exposure to harsh environments, but ACEGrid^® GG addresses this through advanced material selection and protective coatings to ensure reliability and structural integrity. Additionally, ACEGrid^® GG geogrids offer low impact on the environment, supporting sustainable and environmentally conscious construction practices.

Highly cost-effective for diverse project needs

The key features of ACEGrid^® GG geogrids, such as their high mechanical performance and customizable specifications, contribute significantly to their cost-effectiveness.

ACEGrid^® GG geogrids have optimal grid structures to accommodate different sizes of soil particles and are designed to reinforce and stabilize soils in a variety of civil engineering applications. Customized fabrication is allowable for tensile and junction strength, aperture sizes, coatings, width (up to 5 m) and length for different project requirements. Delivered in roll form, they are easy to transport and install on-site. Geogrids can be manufactured from a range of materials, and can also be combined with other materials to further enhance performance. With the backup of great production capacity and more than 20 years of manufacturing experience, the customization, quality, and cost effectiveness can be ensured at the same time.

Over the past decade, ACEGrid^® GG geogrids have been proven to successfully installed as a reinforced earth structural material around the world in thousands of civil and transportation engineering projects, such as reinforced (steep) slope, retaining wall, subgrade and foundation stabilization, dike, embankment, bridge pier, abutment, parking lots, etc., all constructed using ACEGrid^® GG geogrids for enhanced stability. Polyester geogrids are commonly used in infrastructure projects due to their excellent performance. The reputation of the product was built on high customer satisfaction. ACEGrid^® GG should be considered your primary choice for the long-term safety of civil structures for being a highly reliable product.

The benefit of using ACEGrid^® GG is improved project outcomes through better stress distribution, soil stabilization, increased bearing capacity, prevention of soil erosion, and reduced deformations. In erosion control applications, geogrids can be used in combination with rock to further stabilize slopes and prevent soil loss. Proper handling and storage at the site are important to avoid contamination by debris, which can affect the integrity of the materials. The features and benefits of choosing ACEGrid^® GG are summarized below:

• ● High quality and Long-term durability to ensure the structure's service life
• ● High mechanical performance to avoid damage during construction
• ● Simple and quick installation to reduce construction time and costs
• ● High cost-effectiveness

Installation and Handling – Ensuring Long-Term Performance of ACEGrid® GG Geogrids

Critical Role of Proper Installation

Correct installation and handling are essential to achieving the designed performance of ACEGrid^® GG geogrids in soil reinforcement applications. Whether applied in retaining walls, embankments, slopes, or working platforms, installation quality directly affects structural integrity, service life, and cost efficiency. Poor installation can lead to mechanical or placement damage, reducing tensile strength and compromising the geogrid’s effectiveness.

Protecting Performance with Best Practices

To prevent issues such as misalignment, material damage, or insufficient embedment, construction teams should follow manufacturer guidelines and adopt recommended procedures. Proper tensioning and positioning are especially critical in applications with high loads or soft soil foundations, ensuring the geogrid performs as intended under stress.

Material Advantages with PET Geogrids

ACEGrid^® GG geogrids are woven from high-modulus, high-tenacity PET yarns, known for their excellent durability, low elongation, and anti-creep properties. These characteristics support long-term performance even in aggressive environments. However, their effectiveness depends on careful handling during transport, storage, and installation to preserve material integrity.

Application-Specific Selection

Choosing the right geogrid type enhances both technical results and project efficiency. Uniaxial ACEGrid^® GG geogrids are ideal for applications requiring reinforcement in one direction, while biaxial options provide strength in both directions for applications such as working platforms or base stabilization. Custom specifications are available to match project demands.

Ensuring Structural Reliability and Efficiency

Properly installed geogrids help distribute loads, reduce settlement, prevent erosion, and enhance overall soil structure. With over 20 years of manufacturing experience, ACE Geosynthetics provides not only quality products but also the technical support necessary for successful installation.

By combining premium material performance with precise installation practices, ACEGrid^® GG geogrids deliver reliable, cost-effective soil reinforcement solutions across a wide range of engineering applications.
