Geocomposite Unpaved Road Stabilization in West Java
Background: Extreme Challenges in the Field This geocomposite unpaved road project in West Java has topography and weather that seriously test the durability of road infrastructure. High annual rainfall drastically increases the moisture content of the subgrade. As a result, the soil’s California Bearing Ratio (CBR) drops to a very critical level (below 3%). This […]
Geocomposite Access Road on Soft Soil in Tasikmalaya
Background: The Challenge of Building on “Unstable” Ground Have you ever imagined how difficult it is to build a smooth, durable access road in hilly terrain with high rainfall? That was the main challenge faced on this geocomposite access road project in Tasikmalaya, West Java. The area is known for its dynamic ground contours and […]
Geocomposite Slope Reinforcement Against Landslides
Background & Challenges in the Field Bekasi, with its massive infrastructure development, often faces geotechnical challenges, one of which is keeping slopes stable in high embankment or new excavation areas. The biggest challenge on this Bekasi geocomposite slope reinforcement project was not just holding back the soil mass, but fighting an enemy that often goes […]
What Is a Geocomposite? Definition, Types and Advantages
What is a geocomposite? You may not be familiar with the term yet. This material is a geosynthetic product that combines one geosynthetic material with another, so two geosynthetic materials are used together. The purpose of combining the two geosynthetic materials is to achieve better results and performance, particularly in terms of the functions of […]
Advantages of Geocomposite in Construction
Definition and Advantages in Construction Projects In the construction industry, using innovative and efficient materials is key to a successful project. One material that has grown in popularity in recent years is geocomposite. In this article, we explain what geocomposite is and the advantages of geocomposite in construction projects. What Is Geocomposite? Geocomposite refers to […]
Save Installation Time with Geocomposite
Geocomposite is a material made of geogrid and non-woven geotextile, and geocomposite installation can save significant time. Where the subgrade is poor, a reinforcement layer is needed to carry the load above it. Most infrastructure applications, such as palm oil plantation access roads or roads built over former mud, would otherwise require installing two products […]
