Geotextiles
Both woven and non-woven. As protectors, reinforcement/ separators and filters.
Applications
- Lakes, lagoons and reservoirs – protection for membranes
- Railways, roads and car parks – reinforcement/separation
- Coastal and bank protection for rivers and waterways – filtration
Benefits
Protectors:
- Ease of installation
- Flexible
- Excellent damage resistance and thick to sustain high puncture loads – cushions against penetration
- High abrasion resistance
- Needle-punching ensures high elongation capacity under localised strain without rupturing or losing hydraulic properties
- High water permeability retained, even under load, along with a minimal reduction of long-term filtering efficiency
Reinforcement/separators:
- Reduced rutting or track deformation
- Prevention of contaminant migration
Filters:
- Filter stability prevents soil erosion through scouring
Specification
- Rolls up to 5.9m wide x 100m long.
