Geosynthetics

Geosynthetics functions

• Filtration

  Allows the passage of water while restricting the movement of soil. Our high quality geosynthetics can provide a good level of filtration for the majority of soil types, allowing water but not soils to pass through.
  
  Applications: Landfill, drainage, earth embankments

  

• Separation

  Prevents different soil layers from unwanted mixing. Using our geosynthetic products can avoid aggregate bases or sub-bases mixing into soils, and will save costs by removing the need for additional granular layers.
  
  Applications: Compounds, haul roads, horse ménage, piling and working platforms

  

• Reinforcement

  Resists stresses, reduces deformations, and can support weaker subgrade. Base or sub-base reinforcement can be achieved with the use of a geosynthetic at the bottom layer,
  increasing support of the ground whilst reducing the amount of soil or gravel required.
  
  Applications: Haul roads, compounds, piling & working platforms, embankments, slopes, bunds, walls

  

• Drainage

  The use of a geosynthetic to collect and transport fluids. A reduction in the thickness of drainage layers can save money on aggregate stones whilst giving a more consistent and more protected solution.
  
  Applications: French drains, open ditches

  

• Protection

  Reduces damage to an adjacent surface, acting as stress reduction. A practical solution for areas which may be particularly prone to wear. Our geosynthetic products can ensure the protection of soils, grasses and gravel areas.
  
  Applications: Embankments, car parks, bunds, walls, landfill, attenuation tanks

  

• Containment

  Prevents the migration of liquids through the soil. Offers solutions for either aggressive
  containment or contaminated land. These products provide a barrier that offers pollution
  control in varied applications.
  
  Applications: SUDs, ponds, lakes, lagoons, landfill
