Specialised solutions to meet your needs Geosynthetics Our total geosynthetic package has been continuously developed and expanded since 1995, providing all our customers with technical support, specification and design services, helping you find the solution to all your geosynthetic requirements. Products by category Products by range Geosynthetic solutions Geosynthetic products play an integral role in the majority of the building, civil and marine engineering projects. While the range of applications and uses is vast, the functions can be broken down into six broad categories: Separation, Protection, Filtration, Erosion control, Reinforcement and Drainage. Geocells A cost-effective, cellular confinement solution used to reduce erosion and provide structural reinforcement for load support and earth retention. Geocellular paving A permanent panelled system that is virtually invisible from the surface once in-filled. Designed for quick and easy installation, panels simply interlock together and incorporate small ground spikes which provide anchorage during installation. Geogrids Reduce your construction costs and time while achieving significant carbon savings. Wrekin biaxial and uniaxial geogrids provide ground reinforcement for haul roads, permanent roads, working platforms, compounds, slopes and more. Geomats A range of lightweight solutions used on sites where vegetation requires assistance to control erosion or reinforce and protect against vehicular traffic. Geomembranes Our range of high-quality impermeable geomembranes is manufactured to current European standards by an industry-leading Geomembrane manufacturer. We offer a variety of roll sizes for each of the different materials to match individual site requirements. Geotextiles We have both Woven and Nonwoven geotextiles available providing multiple different functions from separation, filtration, reinforcement, protection and drainage. We offer a variety of sizes to match your site requirements. Achieve significant savings Reduce your projects carbon emissions with geogrids Wrekin geogrids can play a significant role in reducing carbon emissions across a project. There's numerous ways this is achieved, including: By reducing the amount of earthworks required on-site before the grids go into the ground. This reduces the amount of plant required, and their associated emissions. Reducing the thickness of a haul road, compound or similar. This thickness is created with aggregate which requires extraction, processing, and transport. By minimising the aggregate you will significantly reduce embodied carbon. Wrekin geogrids can provide equivalent load bearing capabilities to sub-bases twice as thick, providing aggregate savings of up to 50%. Minimising the likelihood of repairs. Geogrids provide reinforcement, leading to higher quality, stronger sub-bases, which can result in longer lasting and harder wearing installations, requiring less repairs and maintenance. View geogrids Geosynthetics ranges GT Membrane 500 GT Membrane 500 is a standard impermeable geomembrane used for standard ‘attenuation tank’ applications in SUDS. ProtectaWeb Slope Reinforcement ProtectaWeb for slope stabilisation helps to prevent shear failure and lateral movement of aggregate materials by reinforcing the infill. This provides load distribution over weak soils, and base stabilisation for paved and unpaved roads. CellTrack A permanent panelled system that is virtually invisible from the surface once in-filled. Designed for quick and easy installation, panels simply interlock together and incorporate small ground spikes which provide anchorage during installation. E'GRID Biaxial E'GRID is our premium range of biaxial geogrids. Designed to reliably solve pavement problems by providing reinforcement to granular sub-bases. E'GRID provides reliable long-lasting performance with significant carbon and cost savings. E’GRID Uniaxial Used in the reinforcement of walls and slopes, E’GRID Uniaxial’s principal characteristic is good creep performance with low strain and high strength under constant load. FasTrack Standard Grade FasTrack Standard Grade (SG) woven geotextiles fabrics are produced with long term performance in mind. It is available in strengths of up to 200kN/m width as standard and CBR puncture strengths ranging from 1800N to 12,500N. GCL 5000 GCL 5000 is a mechanically bonded geosynthetic clay liner composite of pulverised bentonite embedded between two layers of geotextile. Additional bentonite is added to the overlap edges for ease of sealing. MultiTrack NW MultiTrack nonwoven (NW) is our market leading range of thermally bonded nonwoven geotextiles which have been developed to provide separation and filtration in a wide range of groundworks applications. MultiTrack SNW MultiTrack superior nonwoven (SNW) geotextiles are manufactured by needle punching a web of high tenacity fibres to produce a consistent and uniform product of highest performance. ProtectaWeb Tree Root Protection ProtectaWeb provides a proven no-dig method of enabling the creation of access ways or parking areas in close proximity to nearby trees. The unique composition and strength ensures this can be done without compacting the soil, which can cause irreparable harm to the tree’s life support system. SX Grid SX Grid is a biaxial geogrid that provides a cost-effective solution to solve pavement problems by providing reinforcement to granular sub-bases including compounds, haul road and working platforms in areas of weak or variable soils. Trinter Erosion control mesh Our Trinter erosion control mesh is a volumetric geomat made from Polypropylene and High-Density Polyethylene and is designed to control erosion. Protection is guaranteed from the moment of installation. Turf Mesh grass protection system A versatile grass support system, which can be installed on already established lawns and park areas. This provides great versatility as a temporary system or left in position to become a permanent and integral reinforcement mesh. Geosynthetic statistics reduction available on the thickness of a compound or haul road. 50% cost reductions available when using Wrekin Geogrid. 40% of proven real world project experience. 20years CO2e not emitted thanks to E'GRID installations during 2022. >900t GEOSYNTHETIC FUNCTIONS Geosynthetics are used to fulfil a number of functions that significantly contribute to the good performance of soil related construction project, helping to overcome many common issues. Reinforcement Strengthen the soil and aggregate layers as it distributes loads more evenly and reduces rutting . Separation A geosynthetic placed between soil layers creates a stronger surface area by preventing different-sized particles from mixing. Filtration Restrict the uncontrolled movement of particles to allow the passage of fluids through the soil. Drainage Allow fluids and gasses to flow through the plane of the material and helps with surface water run-off. Protection Used as a stress reduction layer to prevent or reduce damage to an adjacent surface or layer. Containment Go one step further than separation, allowing for the containment of liquids and gasses in addition to soil particles.
