BPM had provided the full line of geosynthetic solutions such as geogrid and geotextile for Gili Mas Port construction project since 2017. The project is located in Lombok Island, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Gili Mas Port covers an area of 50 hectares. It measures 440 meters long and 26 meters wide. Sea depth reaches up to 13 meters post-reclamation. Land preparation will be completed at 100 percent. BPM cooperated with the Indonesian government construction company. They supplied geosynthetic solutions for the project. We manufactured and supplied geogrid and geotextile. Now, Gili Mas Terminal strengthens the regional and national economy. It also boosts tourism in the region. With tourism potential in the southern region, the port serves as a loading and unloading center. It also stores containers. Moreover, it has become a new tourist destination.
BPM Geogrid and Geotextile Solutions for Port Construction
Geosynthetic solutions, such as geogrid and geotextile, play a crucial role in comprehensive port construction. This includes wharves, port roads, container yards, revetment engineering, and breakwaters. Port construction often involves dealing with soft soil foundations. These are characterized by mucky clayed and silty marine deposits. They have high water content, high void ratio, lower shear strength, and lower permeability. Geosynthetics like geomembrane, geogrid, and geotextile are ideal for reinforcing these weak and soft soil foundations. They also strengthen and stabilize them effectively.
As the leading geosynthetic products manufacturer and wholesaler.The Best Project Material Co., Ltd (BPM) has dedicated to manufacturing and supplying one-stop geosynthetic solutions and services. BPM has over 120 professional staff and a 16,000 square meters manufacturing factory equipped with state-of-the-art production lines. All BPM brand geosynthetic products have passed the certificates of ISO9001, ISO14001, Soncap, SASO, BV, and have also passed the tests of SGS and Intertek etc.
Why Chose BPM Geogrid and Geotextile for Gili Mas Port Construction in Indonesia
BPM geogrid and geotextile were chosen for the Gili Mas Port construction project in Indonesia. This selection addressed challenges posed by soft soil foundations. The construction company partnered with BPM Indonesia. They selected biaxial geogrid and filament non-woven geotextile. These materials were used to reinforce the subgrade. They also minimized the risk of uneven settlement and sliding. The construction company visited BPM’s factory. They placed an order and made a deposit. BPM expedited the supply of geosynthetic products. This was done to meet the project deadline. The government company inspected and tested the goods. They were produced and delivered on time, meeting the project’s requirements. The selection of BPM geogrid and geotextile helped overcome challenges. It ensured stability and met project deadlines and quality standards.
Non Woven Geotextile for Gili Mas Port Construction Project
As one of the important geosynthetic solutions for Gili Mas Port construction project, this port construction project required 188,000 square meters filament non woven geotextile for port protection and reinforcement. BPM brand non woven geotextiles include filament non woven geotextile, short fiber needle punched geotextile fabric, etc. We also produce woven geotextiles including polypropylene woven geotextile and pet woven geotextile fabric, etc.
After detailed communication, BPM customer ordered filament non woven geotextile for this port construction project.
Specifications of Non woven Geotextile for Port Construction Project
- Total filament geotextile quantity – 188,000m2
- Filament Geotextile specification – 600g/m2
- Each roll size is 5.8m*50m
- Five 40HQ containers
Biaxial Geogrid for Gili Mas Port Construction Project
Biaxial geogrid is made of high-strength industrial polyester or polypropylene filament fiber. This raw material is used in the warp knitting and directional structure composite weaving process. The meridional fiber yarn in the warp knitted biaxial geogrid has a strong bonding point. It features excellent mechanical properties and long-term strength stability. BPM brand biaxial geogrid offers high tensile strength. It also has small extension force, strong strengthening ability, and great resistance to tear. There is a balance of vertical and horizontal strength. Additionally, it provides abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance. These features effectively lock soil or gravel. They greatly enhance the shear ability and overall stability of soil. After detailed communication, the BPM customer ordered warp knitted biaxial geogrid. This was for the port construction project’s subgrade soil foundation treatment and protection.
Specifications of Biaxial Geogrid for Port Construction Project
- Specifications: warp knitted biaxial geogrid 300kNx300kN
- Total quantity – 88,000 m2
- Four 40HQ containers
Quality Assurance of Geogrid and Geotextile
The Gili Mas Port project required that geotextile specification is 40x40kN/m and geogrid is 300kNx300kN. BPM geosynthetics lab tested 3 times for each shift of geogrid and geotextile to make sure the quality is in accordance with project design. As the project is in tight schedule, geogrid and geotextile goods were delivered by three shipments of 188,000 square meters geotextile and 88,000 square meters geogrid.
Onsite Installation of Geogrid and Geotextile
In the installation process, geotextile needs to combine two pieces together by sewing machine. A steel pipe was added to the geogrid. This protected the geogrid rolls and facilitated onsite installation. Geotextile can protect the newly built coastline. Its flexibility and permeability ensure withstanding of wave and current impacts. This prevents erosion and soil washing out. BPM customers were very satisfied with the geosynthetic products. They also appreciated the professionalism in the construction process. BPM witnessed this big project over two years. It will be finished in September 2019. The project rapidly enhanced local transportation and tourism industry development at the new port. This port construction project became a symbolic geosynthetic project in the local market. It was also a significant success in making full use of land resources.
