Grid-Guard HD

Description

Grid-Guard HD is a heavy-duty, 11mm (3/8”) polyethylene pipeline protection grid engineered to provide superior mechanical protection for both steel and plastic pipelines. This three-dimensional diamond mesh is designed to shield pipeline coatings from damage during backfill and from geological shifts after burial — ensuring long-term coating integrity and corrosion prevention.

Lightweight, flexible, and easy to install, Grid-Guard HD delivers consistent impact protection without interfering with cathodic protection systems. Its robust construction ensures durability in harsh environments, while its flexibility allows for quick installation on pipelines of all sizes.

Product Benefits

• Heavy-Duty Impact Protection – Protects coatings from rocks and debris during backfill operations.

• Prevents Coating Damage – Shields against abrasions, punctures, and stress from geological movement.

• Cathodic Protection Compatible – Does not shield or interfere with CP systems, maintaining corrosion control performance.

• Durable and Flexible – Maintains consistent thickness and strength across the grid for reliable, long-lasting use.

• Lightweight and Easy to Install – Reduces handling time and installation labor costs.

• Custom Fit Options – Available in both rolls (up to 7 ft wide) and pads for pipelines larger than 24 inches.

• Proven Performance – Independently tested for impact resistance and compressive strength to ensure superior performance in the field.

Typical Applications

• Pipeline Protection – Shields both steel and plastic pipelines during backfill and burial.

• Geological Defense – Protects buried pipelines from movement, settling, and shifting soils.

• Pipeline Pads & Wraps – Used for large-diameter pipes (24” and up) where additional reinforcement is needed.

• Corrosion Control Systems – Complements protective coatings without impeding cathodic protection.

• Utility and Energy Infrastructure – Ideal for oil, gas, and water transmission systems requiring durable ground protection.

Technical Specifications

Recommended Installation:

• Install directly over pipeline coating during backfill.

• Maintain a 6-inch overlap for maximum coverage and performance.

• Available in rolls and pads to suit all project sizes.
