COMMITMENTS IN FAVOUR OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

EXPERTISE & ASSISTANCE The AFITEXINOV teams make every effort to effectively fulfil the requests and needs entrusted to them. Our Sales and Technical departments, composed of geosynthetics experts, provide quality support throughout the project, from the initial request to on-site implementation. TAILORED SUPPORT Our experts support you from the very first contacts and are present at all stages of your project: • Collaborative project study. • Typical cross section of the proposed solution. • Drafting and supply of a pre-calculation note. • Issue of a quotation. • Supply of the selected technical...

Our geosynthetics are high performance products. Thanks to their needle-punched combining technology, which keeps structures open and empty, our drainage geosynthetics keep their hydraulic properties. The combination of needle-punched non-woven geotextiles, perforated mini-drains, HDPE geomembrane, etc. makes it possible to achieve the mechanical specifications required for each project. The warp-knitted manufacturing technology of our reinforcement geosynthetics, ensures that the reinforcing yarns remain straight throughout the application, with no shrinkage, for the immediate mobilisation of...

Road, port and rail infrastructure drainage Drainage under embankments, under railway ballast - Rear drainage of reinforced soil structures - Drainage around membrane Water seepage into the ground can lead to structural damage and have an adverse effect on the structures service life. In those situations it is important to use an appropriate and effective drainage solution. This traditionnaly has been an aggregate layer. SOMTUBE® FTF limits hydraulic uplift when the water table rises and thus prevents water seepage into the structure. This solution is recommended for several applications: • Drainage...

When building engineering structures, it is essential to consider effective drainage behind the structures to guarantee structure service life and safety. ALVÉODRAIN® F and ALVÉODRAIN® P5 limit the hydraulic pressure immediately behind retaining walls to avoid the accumulation of water behind engineering structures (bridge abutments, retaining walls, abutments, etc.). Indeed, water in contact with the concrete must be limited, and can create additional stresses on the structure that must be taken into account during design. In addition to drainage, mechanical protection may also be required to...

ALVÉOTUNNEL® Galleries drainage In tunnels, seepage water must always be collected and drained. It is essential that the structures have an effective, fast drainage system to stop water penetration before it affects the structure when a waterproofing system is installed. ALVÉOTUNNEL®placed against the walls makes it possible to drain and channel the growd water. ALVÉOTUNNEL® is a product recommended for underground structure projects such as cut-and-cover ducts and and tunnels. It is designed to provide mechanical protection for the waterproofing membrane and to drain growd water. Filtering geotextile...

DRAINTUBE® FT The top parts of cut-and-cover ducts or tunnels are usually closed by a concrete slab. The drainage on the surface of the slab mitigates the potential migration of precipitation which can be detrimental to the structure’s durability. Placed on the geomembrane, DRAINTUBE® FT acts as a filtration medium, rainwater drainage and mechanical protection of the geomembrane in a single layer. It replaces the geomembrane's top protection geotextile, the granular drainage material, and the filtration geotextile. Perforated drain pipe Filtering geotextile Drainage layer Polypropylene geocomposite...

STABILINER® GTX – STABILINER® ALVEO Waterproofing and lining of ditches and curved channels Non-thermoformed puncture resistant geotextile HDPE geomembrane Ditches and u-shape channels are excavated structures made to collect and drain surface runoff water. It is important to make them relatively impermeable or waterproof to protect the infrastructure. STABILINER® GTX or STABILINER® ALVEO are two reliable and cost effective solutions. These products provide both lining or waterproofing and earth retention in ditches and curved channels. They can be planted with One or vegetation or made of stone...
