PRODUCTS
I. E GRID PRODUCTS
E GRID Products are advanced geosynthetics with a competitive range of engineering properties including
strength, modulus, weathering resistance, corrosion resistance and creep performance that are the truly world
class.
E GRID Uniaxial and Biaxial Geogrids are manufactured by stretching High Quality punched sheets of
engineering grades of polymers under closely controlled conditions. The structures of optimized node ribs
and bars that this produces have a signicant effect on the spreading of loads in soils. Generally, a polymer
has molecular chains distributed randomly with similar properties in all directions.
The principle of manufacturing punched and stretched Geogrids relies upon greatly improved mechanical
properties in the direction of orientation. The orientation improves polymer strength.
The control of orientation in the nodes has a signicant effect on the tensile properties and creep performance
of the grid. This feature has been optimized in EGRID Geogrids. Orientation gives a suitable arrangement of
the polymer molecular chains resulting in improved tensile modulus. Orientation greatly reduces strain under
long-term constant loading, essential dimensional stability in construction work.
A high level of resistance to Ultra-Violet Light through incorporation of 2% of weathering-grade Carbon Black
is well dispersed in the polymer matrix. These products may be used for many years in exposed conditions.
A good creep performance under sustained loading is essential for the use of geogrids in critical structures
such as walls, abutments, and steep embankment.
The load dispersal effect from the interlocking mechanism is more effective and can reduce sub-base thickness
and construction cost. EGRID Geogrids can be used with virtually any kind of ll material.
EGRID Geogrids can provide reinforcement and improve the bearing capacity and factor of safety of a
structure and reduce construction costs.
a. EGRID UNIAXIAL GEOGRIDS

EGRID Uniaxial Geogrids are meshes with elongated
apertures manufactured from High Density Polyethylene
(HDPE). These geogrids are extremely durable. They
have been tested in environments from pH 1.6 to pH 12.6.
Any fill within this range with appropriate engineering
properties may be used with EGRID Uniaxial Geogrids.
The main characteristics of EGRID Uniaxial Geogrids are

high strength and low creep. They have good resistance
to vibration, base deformation and earthquakes.They
improve the bearing capacity and factor of safety of a
structure. They reduce construction time and cost since they can be easily installed and the other materials used
for the construction are locally available.
EGRID Uniaxial Geogrids are primarily used for reinforcing of walls, abutments and slopes under long-term
high loading. They are the main components of a Mechanically Stabilized Earth Walls (MSEW). MSE Walls may
be used in conjunction with intermediate foundations, driven and bored piles, and jet-grouted columns in areas
with soft soils.

b. EGRID BIAXIAL GEOGRIDS
The properties of EGRID Biaxial Geogrids, made of Polypropylene (PP),

with their square apertures, high tensile strength and optimized geometry
of nodes and ribs make them equal to any other similar material. The
reinforcing action of EGRID Biaxial Geogrids relies mainly in increasing
the shearing resistance within a soil by a process of interlocking between
the square ribs and the soil. The grid apertures and laments react with
the aggregate to create an interlock which imparts strength and stiffness
to the aggregate layer minimizing potential movements of the stones that
can lead to mud pumping. Therefore, they prevent mud pumping.
Applied in Roads, Railways, Ports and Other Paved Areas

One layer or multilayer of EGRID Biaxial Geogrid construction distributes loading and disperses
stress more effectively, leading to the reduction in differential settlement and improved foundation
bearing capacity.
Applied in Airport Runways

A tough platform can be established with EGRID Biaxial Geogrid reinforcement. Resistance to the
impact of aircraft take-off and landing is improved with more effective and immediate load dispersal.
Applied in Temporary Roads and Other Unpaved Areas

EGRID reinforcement gives ease of construction ofpavements with reduced construction time and
cost.
Diagram / Section showing application of EGrid Biaxial Geogrids on roadways
EGRID Biaxial Geogrids reduce differential settlement through the improvement of load distribution in the
affected area. With the use of EGRID Biaxial Geogrids a savings of 30% on aggregate thickness will transpire.
The lifespan of roads is being improved and their maintenance costs are being reduced.

c. EGRID POLYMER GABION & MATTRESS
EGRID Polymer Gabion and Mattresses are made of EGRID Biaxial Geogrids. EGRID Polymer Gabions and
Mattresses, with their simplicity of construction, built-in permeability and exibility, offer a wide range of
applications ranging from gravity earth retaining wall to river and coastal protection. They are ideal for ground
engineering applications since they are manufactured from high strength polymer, Polypropylene (PP), and their
inherent chemicals inertness.
EGRID Polymer Gabions and Mattresses are resistant to all naturally occurring soil acids and alkalis ranging
from pH 2 to pH 9. They are resistant to corrosion. They are also exible enough to handle slight deformations
in the sub-surfaced soils. They are lightweight, easy to transport, and to handle on site. Also, they are supplied
in collapsed form for speedy assembly on site. These products have the physical and chemical properties of
EGRID Biaxial Geogrids, such as their resistance to Ultra-Violet Light.
d. EGRID GEOCELLS (EGRID GC)
EGRID GC is a three-dimensional cellular connement structure based on polypropylene or polyethylene for

multiple usages in the construction elds, horticulture, landscape gardening, and many others. EGRID GC
mattress creates a rm foundation lled with granular material and can be used in rapid construction on the
weak soil without excavation and removal of subsoil.
EGRID GC is primarily used for soil drainage for houses and cellar walls and soil stabilization for private parking
areas and access roads, and for temporary streets and road sides. They can also be used as reinforcements to
slopes, embankments and channel liners. Moreover, they can be used for stabilization of foundations for sports
elds applications, landlls, etc.

II. CONCRETE CANVASTM
Concrete CanvasTM (CC) is a exible, concrete impregnated fabric that

hardens when hydrated to form a thin, durable, water proof and re
resistant concrete layer. CC allows concrete construction without the
need for plant or mixing equipment. Simply position the Canvas and
just add water.
Concrete CanvasTM consists of a 3-dimensional ber
matrix containing a specially formulated dry concrete
mix. A PVC backing on one surface of the Canvas
ensures the material is completely water proof. The
material can be hydrated either by spraying or by
being fully immersed in water. Once set, the bers
reinforce the concrete, preventing crack propagation
and providing a safe plastic failure mode. CC is
available in 3 thicknesses: CC5, CC8 and CC13, which
are 5, 8 and 13mm thick respectively.
CC User Benets:
Rapid Install CC can be laid at the rate of 200
sqm/hour, up to 10 times faster than conventional
concrete solutions.
Easy to Use CC is available in man portable
rolls for applications with limited access. The
concrete is pre-mixed so there is no need for mixing, measuring or compacting. Just add water.
Lower Project Costs The speed and ease of installation mean CC is more cost-effective than conventional
concrete, with less logistical complexity.
Eco-Friendly CC is a low mass, low carbon technology which uses up to 95% less material than
conventional concrete for many applications.
CC Key Properties:
Water Proof The PVC backing on one surface of the Canvas ensures that the material has excellent impermeability.
Strong The ber reinforcement prevents cracking, absorbs energy from impacts and provides a stable failure
mode.
Durable CC is chemically resistant, has good weathering performance and will not degrade in UV.
Flexible CC has good drape characteristics and will closely follow the prole of any ditch or embankment. The
material can negotiate tight bends and t around existing infrastructure. Unset CC can be cut or tailored using the
basic hand tools.
CC Applications:
Ditch Lining CC can be rapidly unrolled to form a ditch or channel lining. It is significantly quicker, easier and
less expensive to install than conventional concrete ditch lining and requires no specialist plant equipment. CC
can be laid at a rate of 200sqm/hr. by a 3 man team.
Slope Protection CC can be used to stabilize and protect slopes as a replacement for shotcrete and steel
mesh. It is typically faster to install, lower cost and requires less specialist plant equipment. CC also helps
eliminate the risks associated with shotcrete rebound and debris.
Bund Lining CC provides a cost-effective alternative to poured or sprayed concrete for lining secondary
containment bunds. It acts as an effective weed barrier, reducing maintenance costs as well as providing
additional levels of impermeability and fire protection. Its ability to be installed quickly reduces time on site,
while the availability of man-portable rolls allows for installation in areas with reduced access.
Remediation CC can be used to rapidly reline and refurbish existing concrete structures suffering from
environmental degradation and cracking.
Culvert Lining CC can be used as a cost-effective alternative to bitumen spraying or re-building damaged
culverts, while offering a durable means of providing erosion protection.

III. EGRID 3D EROSION MAT
EGRID 3D EROSION MAT is a robust, high tensile strength, three-

dimensional structure with outstanding drape qualities, which enables
it to conform to and maintain intimate contact with the soil prole.
With the EGRID 3D Erosion Mat completely lled with soil, and with
an established grass root system, a tenacious and permanent erosion
resistant cover is provided to slope, banks and bunds.
EGRID 3D Erosion Mats are use for sites where turf cannot stand
up to high velocity ow and where riprap and concrete paving is
unacceptable or overkill. EGRID 3D Erosion Mats are multi-layered
polyethylene netting that reinforces the turf of grassed waterways and
slopes against washout. EGRID 3D Erosion Mats are effectively used
on lakeshores, reservoirs, riverbanks, riverbeds, and ditches, slopes of
dykes, and road embankments and cuttings

IV. CeTeau PVD DRAINS
PREFABRICATED Vertical Drains (PVDs) are articially created drainage paths which are installed
to accomplish the following objectives: a) to accelerate the consolidation process of soft, saturated
clays and b) to expedite strength increase to improve the stability of embankments built on weak clay
subsoil. Most PVDs are bands consisting of a synthetic Geotextile jacket surrounding a plastic core.
The jacket functions as a physical barrier separating the core ow channels from the surrounding
ne-grained soils and likewise serves as a lter to limit the passage of ne grained material into the
core of the drain. The core, on the other hand, provides structural support for the jacket and provides
longitudinal ow paths along the drain length.
PGA Earth Structure Solutions, Inc. has tied up with CeTeau foryears now, one of the worlds leaders
in the manufacture and installation of PVD drains and horizontal strip drains. CeTeau is equipped with
some of the worlds fastest and strongest stitchers with complete quality control monitoring systems,
fastest stitchers and computerized data loggers.
