Causes of Geosynthetic Clay Liner Damage
Geosynthetic Clay Liner is a geosynthetic product used as a waterproof layer in construction and as an alternative to geomembrane. A Geosynthetic Clay Liner can self-heal if the bentonite clay between its geotextile layers is damaged. However, geosynthetic clay liner damage does not only occur in the bentonite layer; the geotextile layers can be damaged […]
Geonet as a Drainage Liner
Every construction project needs a drainage system that can carry away liquids that would otherwise cause unexpected problems. Geonet drainage is one of the most effective solutions to the conditions commonly found in geotechnical construction, such as saturated soil, waterlogged ground, a bulging waterproof liner, seepage and leaks. To deal with and prevent these unexpected […]
Railway Track Construction with Geosynthetics
A railway track is the track structure that provides the route for trains or electric trains. Building or preparing a railway requires solutions, innovation and the latest technology to support the reinforcement and fitness of the track structure, and railway construction geosynthetics provide exactly that. Geosynthetics can be the solution and innovation, using materials such […]
How to Use an HDPE Welding Rod
Welding rod, also called HDPE welding wire, is commonly used in mining and civil engineering projects, and it is one of the most frequently used materials. Even so, many new field workers on civil engineering or mining projects are still unfamiliar with it, so here is how to use welding rod. Extrusion The extrusion method […]
Geotextile Manufacturing Process in the Factory
Non-woven and woven geotextiles are the most widely and frequently used geosynthetic products in construction. Geotextile can be used for reinforcement, filtration, stabilisation and separation. So what does the geotextile manufacturing process look like? Polyester and polypropylene are the main raw materials used to make geotextile products; non-woven geotextile and woven geotextile basically use the […]
Geobag Dike Design for Ponds and Flood Control
A dike is an earth structure built to hold back water or other liquids on one side, and geobag dike design offers a simple way to build one. With a dike, liquid is held back so it does not overflow into unwanted areas. Dikes do not only hold back water but also liquid mud. One […]
