• Checkmate leads the way:
FlexGrid is the choice of contractors for Segmental retaining walls everywhere. Checkmate has done extensive testing on the Flexgrid family with various soil types, so that engineers can design confidently using the tested reduction factors for installation damage, creep and durability. Checkmate's products are being specified in more and more projects that are built on volcanic rock. We decided to test our Flexgrid range with some of the harshest infill soil that our grid is subjected to, such as six inch volcanic blast rock. Bathurst Testing Laboratory in Kingston, Ontario, Canada completed the testing. Results are extremely good and now engineers can safely specify the only geogrid tested in this soil type; Checkmate Geosynthetics' Flexgrid.
Please contact our technical sales team for detailed information on the test results.

• BC Highways Base Reinforcement
Checkmate Geosynthetics Inc. Has been awarded an 80,000sm highway base reinforcement project in Northern BC, Canada. Checkmate's RigidGrid 1515 was the right choice. Soft soils and a short supply of road base fill make road construction difficult in the Northern BC. Checkmate's Rigidgrid requires less fill and the higher flexural rigidity and geometry of the Rigidgrid allows a strong positive mechanical interlock with the soil particles being reinforced , resulting in reducing rutting and minimizing differential settlement.. The highway is built less expensive than the other conventional methods and lasts longer.

British Columbia's Ministry of Transportation has approved Checkmate Geosynthetics RigidGrid and RoadGrid lines for use on all Ministry projects.

• Other DOT approvals are in progress.
• In agreement with Checkmate Geosynthetics, Baselite will now bundle and distribute Checkmate RigidGrid and FlexGrid with it's Keystone retaining wall systems in Canada.
