HIGH LOAD CAPACITY MAXIMUM RESISTANCE NON-SLIP PAVING TO REALIZE AIRFIELDS AND DRIVABLE SURFACES

Building beyond together THE SOLUTION Geocross is a flooring made on regenerated plastic materials for the realization of airfields and drivable surfaces. It guarantees stabilization and support to grass surfaces already existing and is installed with a simple laying and rolling of the grids in the ground. To ensure optimal performance it must be completely embedded in the ground and its embossed surface provides an excellent wheels grip. When Geocross is well rolled in the ground it creates a surface that allows great stability and excellent rainwater permeability over time. load capacity...

INNOVATION IS KNOWING THE HISTORY During the Second World War the allies developed a system of perforated and modular steel grids, called “Marston Mats”, which stretched on the ground and united to others were used for the rapid preparation of airports and roads. The Italians called them “perforated metal grids”, neologism derived from the English term “grill” that means grid. This paving system, among the most important idea of the Second World War, was equipped with large holes that allowed to take root perfectly to the ground and was also used by war vehicles to cross impervious and...

Geoplast Building beyond together ADVANTAGES Geocross is an innovative outdoor flooring that is installed to create take-off and landing runways that require high stabilization and ground permeability. GRIP NO-SLIP SURFACE HIGH LOAD CAPACITY SOIL STABILIZATION The surface is provided with a stippled texture that guarantees greater grip and therefore greater adherence during vehicles transit, even in the presence of water or mud. The surface of Geocross has been designed for a comfortable and safe transit. The flooring distributes the loads and does not risk structural soil failure or...

GEOCROSS STRATIGRAPHY FREQUENCY OF USE LOAD CAPACITY A good taxiing, take-off and landing surface improves the runway safety, avoiding the projection of sludge from ground on the top airplane wings surface. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS AIRCRAFT Grass surface GEOCROSS Existing soil • Installation should only take place when the ground is soft enough to ensure that Geocross can be easily com pacted. • Cut the grass before laying geocross on the existing grass surface. Geocross flooring has been designed as a non-slip tile system that guarantees a conservative intervention that is easily...

INSTALLATIONS PHASES The installation of Geocross is innovative compared to the classic grassy grids as no excavation has to be carried out for the laying of the elements and neither preliminary preparations of the substrate. Lay the grids on the existing lawn respecting the correct positioning of the hooks. Press the flooring with a rammer roller (or vibro compacting roller) so that the grids penetrate into the existing soil. Once the affected area has been laid, proceed with the hooking of each individual grid. FINISHED FLOORING Homogeneous anti-slip surface with high bearing capacity for...

MANUAL HANDLING Geocross grids are stored in sheets of four pieces and stacked in classic 120x120 pallets. They are easy to remove from the pallet due to their low weight. The grids are then moved and laid in the ground very quickly and without the need for cranes or mechanical equipment.

Geocross stabilising paving, has been designed as a system of non-slip plates that guarantees a conservative intervention. Furthermore, it can be easily integrated into all green areas subject to more or less frequent vehicle traffic, such as public city parks, campsites, country lanes, rural areas, etc. BEFORE AND AFTER COMPACTION The laid and hooked paving remains on the surface. To complete the laying process, the grids must be pressed into the ground using a roller compactor machine.

ACCESS ROUTES AND PARKING Geocross is aimed at a heterogeneous public that needs to develop a sustainable urban model and redevelop green areas that are disused and difficult to use. Our focus is to convert green areas into usable and drivable areas while always maintaining the principles of permeability and biodiversity that nature imposes on us. The stabilizing Geocross flooring has been designed as a system of no-slip tiles that ensures a conservative intervention and is easily integrated in all green areas subject to the more or less frequent passage of vehicles such as in public parks,...
