PRODUCT OVERVIEW

presents a brief overview of the products designed for applications regarding civil engineering works, mainly in the infrastructure and geotechnics sectors, that can satisfy separation, protection, filtration, reinforcement and drainage requirements in the various soils. The purpose is to give a complete overview (even if not exhaustive) of the solutions that we can offer in this field , so that each project can get the maximum long-term reliability, together with the best environmental compatibility- CE-marked, in conformity with the 9001:2008 certified quality system. GEOSINTEX provides...

NONWOVEN GEOTEXTILES In the roads and railway foundations, if placed between the subgrade and the aggregates.it prevents fine particles migration in the soft underlying soil. This nonwoven geotextile acts as a traditional filter, allowing water to flow freely through it while preventing fine soil particles from migrating towards layers con- taining larger particle sizes. The geotextile can also be used as a filter to wrap microcracked pipes and realise drainage trenches. The nonwoven geotextile acts as a protective anti-puncture layer for liners, geo- membranes and waterproof barriers in...

GEODREN PPST is a high strength staple fibers polypropylene nonwoven geotextile, white color, needlepunched and calan- dered, without any chemical binders or GEODREN PPEXT is a staple fibers polypropylene nonwoven geotextile, white color, needlepunched and calendered, without any chemical binders or additives is a recycled staple fibers polypropyle- ne nonwoven geotextile, multicolored, needlepunched and calendered, without any chemical binders or additives GEODREN PEIT is a recycled staple fibers polyester nonwoven geotextile, white color, needlepunched and calendered, without any chemical...

Range: weight from 100 to 2000 g/m2 Good absorption capacity of the soil-generated energy Geodren passes the EN 12224 ageing test Geodren has also been more and more extensively used for landfills in recent years, as a result of the growth in the use of synthetic geomembranes in this sector. The reasons for the growing suc- cess of these new materials are : easy and fast installation procedures and greater reliability with respect to tradi- tional materials. In these applications , Geodren is used to protect the synthetic geomembrane; installed on the basement it protects the geomembrane...

WOVEN GEOTEXTILES Woven geotextiles , with their high tensile strength and Low elongation ( high modulus ) act as a reinforcement layer when the subsoil has poor mechanical properties and thus improves its load -bearing capacity. Placed under roads or railways embankments, it improves the global stability, if correctly designed. It solves load-bearing problems when roads, parking and service areas are built over soft soils. Woven geotextiles separates two layers of soil with different granulometry. For roads and service areas construction, if placed between the subsoil and the backfill...

Large range of styles High manufacture quality and excellent performances High tensile strength and pun- ctures resistance Low elongation (high Young's UV-treated against sun radia- tions and resistant to chemical Good vertical permeability When building temporary roads (such as worksite accesses] or roads and railway foundations, placing a properly designed Propex geotextile between the subsoil and the backfill aggregates generates the fol- lowing advantages: • Reduction of the backfill thickness and. therefore, saving in construction times • Extended lifetime • Reduced construction costs...

Lightness and strength: Propex can reach a tensile strength of 100 kN/m with Less than 500 g/m2 Low elongation under constant load (creep) HYDRAULIC WORKS The lifetime of many civil engineering projects partly depends on the control of the water flow in the ground. In this sense, it is basic to make sure that the fine par- ticles are not removed as this would create erosion problems or damage the drainage Propex used as a filter instead of traditional granular filters, overcomes these problems and makes construction work quicker and The pore sizes of Propex geotextiles, in fact, ensures the...

shear stress to the ground. Very high tensile strength and excellent filtering properties. Good chemical resistance in general (e.g.: salt water, oil and Installation of a properly designed Televev geotextile between the subsoil and the backfill generates the following advantages: • Reduction of the backfill thickness and. therefore, saving in construction times • Extended lifetime • Reduced construction costs The reinforcement provided by the geotextile occurs not only in the early construc- tion stages but it is guaranteed during all the work lifetime , thanks to the excellent creep...

The tensile strength of Televev can reach 1000 kN/m with a 10% elongation Low elongation under constant load (creep) SEA WORKS AND SHORE DEFENSES Thanks to its specific gravity greater than the water, the Televev polyester geotextile is commonly used for sea works as it is a self-sinking product The layer of geotextile plays a particu- larly delicate role as it must be perme- able enough to prevent the formation of an high pressure differential between the water level on the banks and the free water level, whilst being "closed" enough to prevent the migration of fine soil particles. In...

The geogrid works as a reinforcement structure inside the ground or in combi- nation with it, in order to produce a composite material with better mechanical properties, strength and deformability than non-reinforced ground. EDILGRID can be used in all applications where reinforcement is required (road and railway embankments or foundation, slopes stabilization, manufacturing of mattress and gabions to fill with stones), though its main application is the construction of a special retaining wall named Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE), with wrap around system. • Reinforcement layer in the...
