Flooding cannot be solved overnight. However, one of the most appropriate and effective ways to deal with the threat is flood prevention with geobags (sand bags). Geobags are made from non-woven or woven geotextile, sewn into sacks and filled with soil or sand. Geobags are stronger than ordinary sacks because they let water through but […]

Geomembrane is a plastic liner, often called HDPE tarpaulin, commonly used to line aquaculture ponds, water storage ponds, artificial lakes, landfill projects, biogas covers and more. Before you calculate geomembrane quantity, note that it comes in several thicknesses: 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.75 mm, 1 mm, 1.5 mm and 2 mm. Let’s take a shrimp […]

Geosynthetics are factory-made polymer products used in structures that interact with soil, rock or other geotechnical engineering materials. The types of geosynthetics most commonly used are geotextile, geocell, geogrid, geomembrane, geocomposite, geomat, geosynthetic clay liner, geopipe and others. Geosynthetic materials come from the plastics industry: polymers, rubber, fibreglass and other materials. All geosynthetics are generally […]

What is geogrid? Geogrid is a geosynthetic product made from polyester, polypropylene or polyethylene, produced by bonding a grid structure through extruding, punching, heating, longitudinal stretching and transverse stretching. Geogrid has large apertures and is always used in some form of reinforcement. It is generally used for subgrade improvement, embankment reinforcement, landslide slope repair, and […]

Geopipe is a pipe made from HDPE (High Density Polyethylene). It is round, ribbed (corrugated) and perforated. This article covers the main geopipe types and functions. The holes in the pipe wall allow water from outside the pipe to enter and be collected, then flow on to the outlet. Geopipe is commonly used for infiltration, […]

Geosynthetic Clay Liner, better known as GCL, separates soil layers from water and also forms a waterproof layer. Among the key geosynthetic clay liner functions, it combines sodium bentonite with non-woven geotextile and woven geotextile layers, usually reinforced by needle punching. GCL generally works like geomembrane, but it can be a far more reliable and […]
