Geotextiles play a vital and long-lasting role in improving ground conditions in a wide variety of construction projects, from road building and car parks to coastal defences and railways.
When gale force winds combined with high tides on Thursday 5th December 2013, the result was the worst storm surge to hit North Wales in years. A solution devised jointly by Atkins, Alun Griffiths (Contractors) Limited and Wrekin Products was agreed. Our geosynthetic products were used to aid the creation of a barrier against adverse weather.
The Wrekin Products geogrids team value-engineered a fit-for-purpose adoptable road for a new Derby housing development, working with the city council, William Davis Homes and S&L Groundworks. This project demonstrates how value engineering solutions such as geogrids can be used to solve general and site-specific issues for the housing sector.
