Our trained team knows the importance of the correct choice in geosynthetics is critical to the overall success of your project and will help with the right solution based on your organisations needs.
Geotextiles
Geotextiles form one of the largest groups of geosynthetics. They are indeed textiles, but they consist of synthetic fibers so biodegradation and a short product lifetime is not an issue. Geotextiles are porous to liquid flow across their manufactured plane and also within their thickness, but to a widely varying degree. There are many applications for geotextiles that have been developed; however, the most common ones are for the following functions: separation, reinforcement, filtration, and/or drainage.
Erosion Control
Climate change is one of the primary causes of progressive erosion problems on a global scale. The hydraulic and filtration properties of geosynthetics allows them to be used highly effectively in place of traditional filter layers. Typically, a single layer of geotextile fabric can replace a succession of stone filter layers.
Drainage
Geosynthetic drainage systems are being increasingly used as a more effective and economic alternative to traditional granular based solutions. Geosynthetics are used extensively in critical structural drainage applications such as basements, bridge abutments and retaining walls, replacing porous concrete blocks, no-fines concrete and other conventional materials.
