HDPE Pipe: Advantages, Types and Prices
HDPE pipe is a type of pipe recognisable by its black colour with blue stripes. With that appearance, you can be sure the pipe is HDPE, and it is widely used for water distribution. This article explains the HDPE pipe advantages, types and prices. When choosing a pipe for clean water at high pressure, this […]
HDPE Corrugated Pipe and Spiral Pipe
HDPE Corrugated Pipe HDPE corrugated pipe is made from high density polyethylene (HDPE) polymer and has a corrugated (spiral) profile. It replaces underground concrete pipes and surface pipes or hoses. This type of material is used instead of concrete because the pipe is lightweight and more flexible, yet its resistance to overhead loads is close […]
Comparing Geocell Infill Materials
When using geosynthetics, especially geocell, the main focus should be the infill material in each cell. The infill must be evenly distributed so that the results are effective and do not fluctuate. Besides even distribution, attention should also be paid to the types of geocell infill materials that can be used. Geocell infill can be […]
Geocell for Embankment Construction on Soft Soil
Building an embankment (dike) is a type of construction that requires a firm soil foundation. However, in some cases an embankment must still be built on soft soil. To overcome this and minimise soil movement, geosynthetic products can be used, and one option is geocell for embankment foundations. Geocell can be filled with soil, aggregate […]
Geobag Applications for Flood Protection
Damage to dikes and dams is very common when the structure experiences water seepage, erosion, slope failure and natural disasters. These are the main problems that can lead to flooding (figure 1.1), which is why geobag flood protection is often needed. Special measures are needed to prevent flooding and provide protection when existing dikes or […]
