Geosynthetics

Geosynthetics are synthetic products used to stabilize terrain. They are generally polymeric products used to solve civil engineering problems. This includes eight main product categories: geotextiles, geogrids, geonets, geomembranes, geosynthetic clay liners, geofoam, geocells and geocomposites. The polymeric nature of the products makes them suitable for use in the ground where high levels of durability are required. They can also be used in exposed applications. Geosynthetics are available in a wide range of forms and materials. These products have a wide range of applications and are currently used in many civil, geotechnical, transportation, geoenvironmental, hydraulic, and private development applications including roads, airfields, railroads, embankments, retaining structures, reservoirs, canals, dams, erosion control, sediment control, landfill liners, landfill covers, mining, aquaculture and agriculture.

3D Geomat


3D-Mat available in 10 and 20 mm thicknesses, is a three dimensional structured erosion control mat manufactured from Polypropylene monofilaments. It is easy to install on slopes up to 60° and delivers a lifetime of low-maintenance erosion control.



Features

3D-Mat provides micro stability at the slope surface and therefore instant protection against soil erosion due to wind, rain and flash flooding. 3D-Mat creates an artificial root system by trapping soil particles and holding them in place thus allowing vegetation to grow through the mat for permanent reinforcement. Consequently 3D-Mat helps nature to develop its own strong green solution for long term erosion protection.

Application

3D-Mat is ideal for erosion protection on steep slopes and embankments, riverbanks, lakesides, shorelines, spillways, canals and ditches. It is also highly effective on golf courses and residential lawn areas.

Geocell


Geocells are widely used in the applications of erosion control, slope stabilization and road construction as a confinement system, it has a unique honeycomb structure made from a highly permeable and tough geotextile that is easy to install and secure. The structure forms mini-cascades which reduce surface water run-off by decreasing flow velocity, and prevents the formation of erosion channels. Geocell panel is usually filled with topsoil which allows seeding and growth of vegetation on surfaces that could otherwise not sustain grass or plants (eg. steep or rocky slopes). It is also suitable to stabilize gravel berms or to serve as formwork for concrete river bed construction.



Features

Honeycomb structure/geocell created by bonding alternate sections of geotextile fabric strips.

Entire product is permeable.

During installation the product easily adapts to demanding conditions and contours.

Ensures the stability of the top layer and prevents surface slips.

Minimizes erosion of soil by wind and water immediately after installation (even before seeding and vegetation growth on the slope; plant growth not essential, but enhances the stabilization of the top layer).

Environmentally friendly with less carbon emission.

Application

Slope Stabilization, Basal Reinforcement, Slope Erosion Control and Management of excess rainwater.
