Pavement Reinforcing Geogrid
Pavement cracking is caused by traffic loading,
age hardening and temperature cycling. GlasGrid® Pavement
Reinforcing Geogrid helps arrest this cycle of deterioration
by preventing cracks from "reflecting" through to a new overlay.
As energy from existing cracks moves upward through the crack, toward
the new overlay, it reaches the Glasgrid®. Here the
energy is redirected horizontally, and dissipated, preventing the crack
from reappearing in the new overlay. Through years of research and applications,
Glasgrid® has proven itself to extend pavement life
by up to 84%. GlasGrid® is stronger than steel and
reduces both thermal and stress related cracking. GlasGrid®
8501 Complete Road System is designed for applications warranting
100% reinforcement coverage. GlasGrid® 8502 Detail Repair
System is designed for applications requiring specific reinforcement
such as construction joints and intermittent transverse cracks. GlasGrid®
should only be installed by or underneath direction of an expert installer.

The key advantage to the GlasGrid® system is the self-adhesive application which allows for quick installation in all types of preventative maintenance strategies.
