Product Development & Characterization
New products come with their own set of unique challenges. In order to provide quality technical products product testing to industry standards is vital to their acceptance.
REDI has provided assistance to manufacturers of new products for decades, including new geogrids, high strength geotextiles, segmental block units and systems to name just a few.
Geogrids are products that require determination of long term design strengths (LTDS) for use in designs. The testing for these products must encompass the properties and characteristics of tensile strength, creep resistance, installation damage, and durability.
In segmental wall design connection strength between the geogrid and block is an integral part of any design. REDI has coordinated this testing for numerous materials. The end result is a technical binder for use in submittals to engineers and other reviewing authorities.
Call REDI Engineering with your next new product idea. We can be of assistance from initial development to complete characterization.
Our experience with developing new geosynthetic products can be of use to reduce your time-to-market for new products. This effort can include a competitive product positioning analysis prior to initial pre-production trials. This is followed by development of product constructions and, finally, the requisite independent laboratory testing required for any product to be accepted. We work with several independent laboratories across the nation to facilitate your product testing needs.
