Roads & Infrastructure magazine<\/a> article investigates this innovative geogrid.<\/p>\nWhat is ArmaLynk<\/h3>\n ArmaLynk incorporates high tensile geosynthetic strips, amongst other components to produce a geogrid for use in ground stabilisation needs to support the construction of roads, bridges, railways and heavy-duty pavements.<\/p>\n
Somnath Biswas, Zone Manager, Asia \u2013 Reinforced Earth, has been involved developing and manufacturing geosynthetic applications since the early 1990s, and leads the manufacture and supply of the company\u2019s ArmaLynk solution. He\u2019s seen the engineering world embrace what he says has been a \u201cbreakthrough\u201d product for the\u00a0sector.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe use of geosynthetics in infrastructure projects is becoming more popular due to installation efficiency, cost competitiveness over conventional solutions whilst ensuring mid-to long-term performance,\u201d Biswas says.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s an exciting time and I\u2019m excited more and more about the development of customised products to suit specialised\u00a0applications.\u201d<\/p>\n
Biswas says ArmaLynk satisfies this\u00a0criterion.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a high-performance, high-strength reinforcement geosynthetic. The product is made from both high tenacity polyester (PET) and PVA yarns and is mainly used for basal reinforcement applications,\u201d Biswas\u00a0says.<\/p>\n
ArmaLynk Applications<\/h3>\n \u201cThese applications include embankments on soft and very soft foundations, piled embankments or load transfer platforms, bridging over voids and subsidence, as well as piggy-backing landfills. ArmaLynk can also be used for construction of reinforced steep\u00a0slopes.\u201d<\/p>\n
The ArmaLynk product is now available in Australia. It has already been used for embankment reinforcement applications in Europe and Asia. Bi-axial ArmaLynk has also recently been used to stabilise load platforms in Malaysia.<\/p>\n
These works exemplified benefits over the use of conventional materials and\u00a0methods.<\/p>\n
\u201cArmaLynk is a global high-performance reinforcement brand with several versatility of product characteristics. These include low modulus, ultra-high strengths, composites with drainage and separation, filtration capabilities and special grades with high frictional resistance for marginal fills,\u201d Biswas\u00a0says.<\/p>\n
