Geomembrane Benefits for Road Construction
What Is Geomembrane? Geomembrane is a type of geosynthetic in the form of a thin sheet made from high-grade polyethylene blended with carbon black, antioxidants, anti-ageing and anti-UV additives. The material resists a wide range of chemical liquids, waste and microorganisms, and has low permeability and excellent UV resistance. HDPE geomembrane is also very strong […]
Geotextile vs Geomembrane: Key Differences
Geotextile vs Geomembrane: Geotextile Geotextile and geomembrane are often used in construction projects. Many people think they are the same type of geosynthetic with the same function, but when comparing geotextile vs geomembrane, geotextile and geomembrane are made from different materials and have different functions. Geotextile is a permeable geosynthetic made from synthetic fibres that […]
Building a Geomembrane Biofloc Pond with HDPE
Biofloc is a farming technique for catfish, fish, shrimp and other farmers that uses probiotic bacteria to process the organic waste produced from digestion and leftover feed. A geomembrane biofloc pond helps make this technique very effective at increasing productivity and maintaining water conditions. Biofloc ponds usually use a circular steel frame lined with tarpaulin. […]
Geogrid Road Installation: Functions and Benefits
Geogrid is a sheet with fairly large openings that functions as reinforcement. Unlike geotextile, another sheet-type geosynthetic used for filtration and separation, geogrid is a soil improvement method that increases bearing capacity. There are several kinds of geogrid used in different applications, but for geogrid road installation, biaxial geogrid and polyester geogrid are generally used. […]
Vertical Garden with Non-Woven Geotextile
A vertical garden is a garden in which plants are arranged vertically (upwards) on an upright surface. A non-woven geotextile vertical garden is an efficient option for homeowners who want a garden but lack enough land, because it uses the wall as the growing medium. An affordable, flexible, strong, effective vertical garden system that is […]
Woven Geotextile for Soft Soil Reinforcement
The very first step in a road construction project is testing the soil’s bearing capacity, known as CBR (California Bearing Ratio). If testing shows a CBR of <2%, the soil is clearly unsuitable as a road base because it is soft soil, and woven geotextile soft soil reinforcement becomes the answer. Properly designed installation of […]
