Geosynthetic 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
