Save Installation Time with Geocomposite
Geocomposite is a material made of geogrid and non-woven geotextile, and geocomposite installation can save significant time. Where the subgrade is poor, a reinforcement layer is needed to carry the load above it. Most infrastructure applications, such as palm oil plantation access roads or roads built over former mud, would otherwise require installing two products for reinforcement: geogrid to strengthen the granular subbase, and geotextile for filtration and separation.
These geosynthetic components can be combined into one, saving construction time and improving performance. They can act as a barrier, drainage, filtration, protection, separation or reinforcement layer.

Geotube Shoreline Protection Techniques
The shoreline is an imaginary line that forms the boundary between the sea and the land, and it can shift with the tides. The shoreline can also change, either temporarily or permanently over a certain period, due to erosion (recession) and accretion. This is where geotube shoreline protection comes in. The shoreline can be described […]
Functions of Geomembrane in a WWTP Anaerobic Pond
Have you ever wondered how large factories or industries manage their wastewater so it doesn’t pollute the surrounding environment, Petra friends? One of the most crucial stages in a Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) is the process inside the anaerobic pond. To keep this treatment process running smoothly and safely, there is one unseen hero with […]
What Is a Geotube? Definition, Functions and Advantages
Efforts to tackle and prevent abrasion and erosion are important because they minimize the damage caused. Besides the geobag method, geotube technology can also be used. So what is a geotube, and how does it differ from a geobag? Much like a geobag, this method uses geotextile material, but shaped like a large tube. The […]
