What Is HDPE Geomembrane? Types and Applications
What Is HDPE Geomembrane? HDPE geomembrane is a geosynthetic product made from polyethylene polymer resin. The polyethylene used is high-density, with a density of around 0.94 g /cm3. Geomembrane, also known as HDPE tarpaulin, is impermeable to water and gas. This impermeability is widely used by construction professionals to contain wastewater or raw water as […]
Geotextile Sewing Machine and Sack Bag Closer
Before introducing the geotextile and sack sewing machine, let us briefly explain what geotextile is. Woven geotextile and non-woven geotextile each have their own advantages depending on how they are used on the ground. Geotextile is made from synthetic fibers with added ultraviolet protection, using Polypropylene Polymer (PP) or Polyester (PET), woven or knitted by […]
Geotextile Installation Method
The first step of the geotextile installation method is to roll out the geotextile slowly and release it without any visible wrinkles or folds in the material. The geotextile must be rolled out in the machine direction, straight and perpendicular or parallel to the axis of the embankment. Perpendicular direction. Geotextile Embankment Fill During installation, […]
Geosynthetics for Cover Soil on Slopes
Slopes are a common feature of construction projects. Slope areas need special attention because they are a critical part of a project design and are usually found in structures such as embung (small retention reservoirs), landfills and the like. These slope areas may fail for several reasons, such as a lack of reinforcement, saturated soil […]
Types of Geocomposite and Their Uses
Geocomposite is a further development of geosynthetics: a combination of two or more geosynthetic materials. Combining geosynthetics speeds up installation and reduces the risk of damage that comes with installing several layers separately. Geocomposites serve as filtration, drainage, reinforcement and waterproof layers, depending on which geosynthetics are combined. Below are the types of geocomposite most […]
Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL) Overview
In construction, it is common to build containment areas. These containment areas may hold liquids, gases or solids, either to store the material or to prevent it from polluting the surrounding environment. In Indonesia, containment projects generally use a geosynthetic product called geomembrane, although a GCL (geosynthetic clay liner) is an increasingly popular alternative. Geomembrane […]
