GEOSYNTHETICS: Engineering Solutions for Ground Improvement and Stabilization

Geosynthetics are synthetic materials used in geotechnical engineering and construction to improve soil properties and provide enhanced stability for various projects. They represent a versatile and cost-effective solution for a wide range of applications, significantly improving project lifespan and performance. Our comprehensive range of geosynthetics includes:

1. Geotextiles:

• Description: Woven or non-woven fabrics made from polypropylene, polyester, or other synthetic materials. They offer high tensile strength, excellent filtration properties, and good permeability.
• Applications:
  • Separation: Preventing intermixing of different soil layers (e.g., separating clean fill from subgrade soil).
  • Filtration: Allowing water to pass while retaining soil particles (e.g., in drainage systems).
  • Protection: Protecting underlying layers from damage caused by surface loads (e.g., protecting membranes from punctures).
  • Reinforcement: Increasing the strength and stability of soil masses (e.g., stabilizing embankments).
• Benefits: Enhanced stability, improved drainage, reduced settlement, cost-effective solution, environmentally friendly (recyclable options available).

2. Geomembranes:

• Description: Impermeable sheets made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or other synthetic materials. They offer excellent resistance to liquids and gases.
• Applications:
  • Liners: Creating impermeable barriers in landfills, containment ponds, canals, and reservoirs.
  • Capping: Sealing waste materials in landfills to prevent leachate contamination.
  • Tunnels and underground structures: Providing waterproofing and protection from groundwater.
• Benefits: Excellent impermeability, high chemical resistance, long service life, reduced environmental impact, superior containment.

3. Geonets:

• Description: Three-dimensional structures composed of interconnected polymeric strands, creating a highly porous structure.
• Applications:
  • Drainage: Enhancing drainage in pavements, embankments, and landfills.
  • Separation: Separating soil layers while allowing water drainage.
  • Reinforcement: Improving the stability of slopes and embankments.
• Benefits: High drainage capacity, lightweight and easy to install, durable and long-lasting, promotes effective water management.

4. Geogrids:

• Description: High-tensile strength grids made from polyester or polypropylene. They are used to reinforce soils and improve their bearing capacity.
• Applications:
  • Reinforcement: Strengthening soil masses in embankments, pavement structures, and retaining walls.
  • Stabilization: Improving the stability of slopes and preventing erosion.
  • Ground improvement: Increasing the load-bearing capacity of weak soils.
• Benefits: Enhanced soil strength, increased stability, reduced settlement, cost savings through reduced material usage.

5. Geocells:

• Description: Honeycomb-shaped structures made from high-strength polymers. They provide exceptional confinement and stabilization of granular fills.
• Applications:
  • Erosion control: Stabilizing slopes and preventing soil erosion.
  • Road construction: Reinforcing pavements and improving load distribution.
  • Landscaping: Creating stable surfaces for landscaping and recreational areas.
• Benefits: Excellent load distribution, enhanced stability, reduced settlement, cost-effective stabilization solution.
