PRODUCTS & APLLICATIONS
GEOSYNTHETICS
Geosynthetics are versatile in use, adaptable in many field situations and can be combined with several construction materials. They are utilized in many areas of civil engineering, especially geotechnical, transportation, water resources, environmental, coastal, sediment and erosion control, mining, and agricultural engineering for achieving technical and/or economical benefits.
We always ensure we have materials available in local stock to cater to our client’s requests on short notice and to deliver emergency projects when call on.
Geotextiles
Geotextiles (woven and non-woven) are among the most versatile, environmentally friendly and economical solutions which have expanded rapidly in all civil engineering applications due to their many favourable characteristics. Some major applications include:
- Separation of Dissimilar Materials
- Reinforcement of Weak Soils and Other Materials
- Filtration
- Drainage
Geogrids
Geogrids are geosynthetic products consisting of mesh or netlike regular open networks of intersecting tensile-resistant elements called ribs, integrally connected at the junction. They perform mainly reinforcement functions and are used for several civil engineering applications, some of which are listed below
- Beneath or within aggregate/ballast in paved and unpaved roads and railways
- Mechanically Stabilized Earth Structures and Slopes
- Reinforcement of embarkment fill, basalt reinforcement and soft soils.
Geocell
Geocells are three-dimensional honeycomb or weblike structure, which performs multiple functions and are used in several civil and environmental engineering applications.
- To prevent erosion along slopes and embarkment support
- To provide structural reinforcement for load support to improve stability on road and railway bases.
- Reinforcement of embarkment fill, basalt reinforcement and soft soils.
Geomembranes
Geomembranes (HDPE, LLDPE, PVC) are excellent containment solutions for solid-to-liquid waste due to their impermeable properties. they are used as liners for the following environmental, geotechnical, hydraulic, transportation and private development as follows:
- As liners for potable water
- As liners for waste liquids (sewage, sludge) and hazardous liquid containment
- As liners for secondary containment around storage tanks and tank farms.
- As liners for primary, secondary and/or tertiary solid waste, landfills and waste piles to prevent infiltration to groundwater and other sensitive areas.
- As waterproof facing of earth dams, rockfill and concrete dams
-
Beneath asphalt overlay as a waterproofing layer.
GABION AND GABION MATTRESSES
Gabion and gabion mattresses by virtue of their flexibility, strength and stability, fast deployment and construction. and proven reliability, have become advantageous when compared to other forms of construction. This has translated to their use as alternative solutions for most geotechnical, hydraulic, and environmental structures for the following applications:
- Gabion retaining wall structures
- Soil erosion and scour protection
- Flood control and coastal protection
- River and canal training works
- Highway and roadway slope and embarkment protection
- Coastal embarkment works
- Revetment and channel lining
- Drop structures and weirs
