FIREP
BluGeo FiReP GRP Ground Systems are manufactured by Swiss engineering firm FiReP.
FiReP Group consists of FiRep International AG with main activities in tunnelling and mining and FiReP Rebar with main activities in FRP bars in concrete structures. With about 300 employees operating in 6 countries worldwide the group is one of the largest producers of FRP pultruded thread bar system applications in mining, tunnelling and civil engineering.
Today the FiReP group has its own production capacity of approximately 6 million production metres, certificated according to ISO9001:2000 and ISO14001:2004.

BluGeo GRP Ground Systems PRODUCT FEATURES & BENEFITS
NON CONDUCTIVE
BluGeo Powerthread is a non-conductive elementResistance >1000kΩ/cm (immeasurable)Eliminates stray current corrosionReduces maintenance costs for Rail Authorities
RELIABILITY
No reliance on galvanising or sheathing for corrosion protection. No risk of damage to complex DCP systems during installation ensuring reliable 100 year design life.
DURABILITY
BluGeo GRP Ground System bars have durability exceeding 100 year life expectations. The bars are resistant against acid attack as well as against alkaline attack and provide long service life in aggressive soil conditions.
LIGHT WEIGHT
Due to the low density of glass and resin, BluGeo GRP Ground System bars are 1/4 the weight of steel.The low weight facilitates handling and reduces risk of injury to installers where manual handling is necessary.This feature minimises the transportation cost and can reduce dead loads on structures.
HIGH TENSILE SHEAR STRENGTH
BluGeo GRP Ground System bar has double the tensile strength of normal steel and high shear strength.
SAFE INSTALLATION
12m bar can be lifted safely by 1 personSimple installation operation
IMPROVED SITE HANDLING
Less crane movements and machinery required on siteReduces risk of site transport, loading and unloading incidentsNo need to protect from weather during storage - non corrosive and UV resistant

BluGeo GRP Ground Systems PRODUCT FEATURES & BENEFITS
CUTTABILITY
Much safer cutting without need for high speed disc or oxy-acetylene equipment Allows easy future excavation for widening works - whole of life costContinuous thread profile allows the bar to be trimmed on site
QUALITY OF INSTALLATION
No reliance on galvanising or sheathing for corrosion protectionNo risk of damage to complex DCP system during installationNo minimum cover requirements in accordance with AS3600
FAST EASY GROUTING
BluGeo Powerthread is a single grouting operation with no sheathing Full encapsulation and engagement of the bar with approved grout RMS approved grout BluCem HS200G allows pull testing after 24hrs
ECONOMICAL
No sheathing is required, allowing single stage grouting & fast, easy install. Savings of up to 50% can be made compared to steel DCP products. BluGeo Powerthread offers significant cost reductions on:Material supplyInstallation and site storageWhole of life cost

EXAMPLES OF FACING SYSTEMS USED IN A SOIL NAIL STRUCTURE
HARD FACING
The combination of soil nails and facing has to fulfil the function of stabilising the slope between the nails, and shall therefore be dimensioned to sustain the expected maximum destabilising forces.
FLEXIBLE FACING
Flexible facings are designed to provide the necessary restraint to the areas of slope face between the bearing plates, as well as erosion control. The common flexible facings include geogrids.
Bulk excavation to proposed formation
Local trimming of face to achieve agreed tolerance prior to installation of BluGeo Powerthread K60

Installed BluGeo Powerthread K60
To be installed BluGeo Powerthread K60
Existing ground
BULK EXCAVATION TO FORM BENCHES AND FACE FOR ROW OF BLUGEO GRP GROUND SYSTEMS TO BE INSTALLED
SOFT FACING
The primary function of soft facing is erosion control and protection against surface ravelling. In many cases, the soft facing has to reinforce the vegetation layer, either in the temporary or the permanent situation. In some instances, nails serve only to retain the facing and not to stabilise the slope.
WITHOUT FACINGS
Nailing in case of critically inclined sliding surfaces (e.g. rock strata with reduced shear resistance), however with a stable surface.

BluGeo GRP Ground Systems COMPLIMENTARY PRODUCTS
BluCem HS200 is a high fluidity, low bleed and high compressive strength structural grout, approved for use with the BluGeo GRP Ground System.
WHERE DO WE USE BLUCEM HS200?
BluCem HS200 has been specifically designed and tested to meet the onerous specification requirements demanded by road authorities for use in grouting of post tensioned cables in bridges and other structures and for use in grouting of ground anchors and soil nails.
WHY BLUCEM HS200?
The product meets road authority specification requirements with regard to:
Constant high fluidity for 45 minutes to ensure flow, penetration and encapsulation throughout the pumping and placement cycle
Very low bleed for absolute engagement of cables and anchors for load transfer
High early strength for early loading of cables and anchors
High ultimate strength to provide a dense, low permeability grout medium for long term durability
Limited volume change provides a stable grout matrix within the filled void.
