Paralink geogrids are planar structures consisting of a monoaxial array of composite geosynthetic strips.

Each single longitudinal strip has a core of high modulus, low creep polyester yarn tedons encased in a tough, durable polyethylene elements which give a grid like shape to the composite. ParaLink has superior unidirectional strength and is available as a custom-made product in a range of strengths between 100 kN/m up to 1350 kN/m. Bidirectional strength can be obtained by installing two ParaLink layers at right angles.

ParaLink is suitable for structural applications where a long term design life (50-120 years typically depending on the different existing regulations) is required.
ParaLink is BBA Roads and Bridges certified, for more details or to request a copy of the documents, please contact us. 

Typical ParaLink applications include:

Reinforcement of embankments over soft soils.

Reinforcement of embankments constructed over areas prone to subsidence; if subsidence occurs then the ParaLink bridges across the void (so formed) thus maintaining support for the embankment.

Reinforcement of the foundation of piled embankments; ParaLink assists in the transfer of the embankment loadings directly onto the piles so that the foundation soil supports a negligible load improving the stability and reducing settlements.

Steep slope construction as main reinforcement in combination with Terramesh units of ParaGrid.
