What Is Geomat? Uses and Benefits
What Is Geomat? What is geomat? Geomat was traditionally used in agriculture, but today geomat is more commonly used for commercial, residential and industrial purposes. The material has a three-dimensional design and is made from water-permeable synthetic materials such as polymers and polypropylene. These two synthetics are fused together using heat technology, which improves the […]
Woven Geotextile: Definition and Functions
First, let’s look at the word geosynthetics, which combines two words: Geo (earth) and Synthetic (man-made). Geosynthetics are man-made materials widely used in construction. They come in several forms, one of which is geotextile. A geotextile is a thin, flexible, porous sheet, and geotextiles are divided into two types, woven geotextile & non-woven geotextile. In this article we explain […]
Football Field Drainage System with Subdrain Geopipe
The pitch is one of the most important factors in a football match. Standing water caused by natural factors (rain) is a major obstacle, so a football field drainage system that lets water soak away is essential to prevent it. Read also Geopipe Product One solution to prevent standing water on the pitch is a […]
Geotextile Tube (Geotube) and Its Functions
A geotextile tube, or geotube, is made from non-woven or woven geotextile, in either polyester (PET) or polypropylene (PP), and shaped like a very large sack. To understand geotube functions, start with its size: geotextile tubes vary, reaching 15 to 30 metres as required, and can be filled with aggregate, sand or soil. Geotextile tubes […]
Geobag Functions and Benefits for Slope Reinforcement
A slope is an area where the ground surface is inclined, which often leads to erosion and landslides. This article covers the role of geobags for slope reinforcement. Many factors cause erosion and landslides on slopes. Examples include high rainfall, steep slopes, vibration (earthquakes), deforestation, farmland on slopes, loose soil and piles of rubbish. Read […]
Prevent Slope Erosion with Geocell
A slope is a natural ground surface that stands out because of a difference in height between two points (an incline). Slopes often suffer landslides caused by rainwater runoff, geological structure, weather and external forces such as vehicle vibration or blasting. There are many ways to prevent slope erosion and landslides, and one of them […]
