AGRULock VS
Agru’s AGRULock VS is a specialized product used to seal off vertical cut-off walls to create an impermeable layer. The AGRULock VS system can also enable percolation at panel joints along a specified path. The system is ideal for locations where contaminated groundwater streams need to be stopped or treated with “gate and fence” systems and at construction sites where the groundwater table must be kept at a low level.
Overview
As a replacement and improvement to traditional geocomposite drainage products overlying textured geomembrane, facility owners capitalize on the increased performance and decreased costs that using Super Gripnet® provides. This is evident from over 150,000,000 square feet of Integrated Drainage System – IDS installation across the United States and beyond.
HDPE and LLDPE Super Gripnet® applications include projects where containment, drainage, interface friction and economic dynamics are critical. These projects include landfill closures, containment facilities, oil & gas applications, mining reclamation projects, to name a few. The structured IDS geomembrane is manufactured by continuous horizontal flat die extrusion into profile rollers, which produces the final structured surface of drainage studs and spikes. This manufacturing process provides a smooth edge for on-site welding and a consistent core thickness, which provides industry leading geomembrane physical properties. This IDS product results in environmental containment, higher interface friction capabilities, consistent drain capacity and decreased project costs.
Our engineered profile rollers provide the structured surface with a 130 mil/3.3 mm studded drain surface on the top side and 175 mil/4.45 mm spiked friction surface on the bottom side. The 23 feet/7 meter wide rolls of finished product include a smooth edge on both sides of the roll for ease of thermal welding in the field. Due to the moulded structure, core thickness variation is dramatically reduced as compared with blown film textured sheets, so the mechanical properties of the sheet are greatly superior. In addition, the consistent high-profile spike surface ensures optimum interface friction characteristics at any point on the sheet surface and provides greater factor of safety values.
