ERITECH® Ground Enhancement Material Improves Grounding Effectiveness
ERITECH® Ground Enhancement Material (GEM) improves grounding effectiveness regardless of soil conditions and provides excellent permanent conductivity. GEM is ideal for areas with high resistance, such as rocky ground, mountain tops, extremely dry environments, and sandy soils. GEM is extremely effective, typically lowering the resistance of the grounding system by 40%. GEM contains cement. As it cures, GEM maintains a relatively constant resistance for the life of the grounding system. It does not dissolve, decompose or leach out with time.
GEM performs in all soil conditions, even during dry spells. It is easily installed in a slurry format for both horizontal (trench) or vertical (encased ground rods) applications. GEM is available in 11.1 kg (25 lb) bags. For more information on GEM, please call 1-800-677-9089 or visit www.erico.com.
