Geonet as a Drainage Liner
Every construction project needs a drainage system that can carry away liquids that would otherwise cause unexpected problems. Geonet drainage is one of the most effective solutions to the conditions commonly found in geotechnical construction, such as saturated soil, waterlogged ground, a bulging waterproof liner, seepage and leaks. To deal with and prevent these unexpected […]
Railway Track Construction with Geosynthetics
A railway track is the track structure that provides the route for trains or electric trains. Building or preparing a railway requires solutions, innovation and the latest technology to support the reinforcement and fitness of the track structure, and railway construction geosynthetics provide exactly that. Geosynthetics can be the solution and innovation, using materials such […]
How to Use an HDPE Welding Rod
Welding rod, also called HDPE welding wire, is commonly used in mining and civil engineering projects, and it is one of the most frequently used materials. Even so, many new field workers on civil engineering or mining projects are still unfamiliar with it, so here is how to use welding rod. Extrusion The extrusion method […]
What Is Concrete Curing?
What is concrete curing? Curing is the concrete maintenance carried out once concrete begins to harden. Its purpose is to prevent the concrete from losing moisture and to maintain its humidity and temperature, so that the concrete reaches good quality and strength. Curing can be carried out when the concrete enters the hardening phase (on […]
Functions of Geosynthetics in Road Construction
Geosynthetics in road construction are quite common, including geotextile, geogrid, geocell, geonet and geomembrane. These geosynthetics can fulfil one or more of the functions a road structure needs. For example, in 1970 geosynthetics were used to improve the performance of roads on soft soil. From 1980 onwards, geosynthetics were developed to reduce the risk of […]
Woven vs Non-Woven Geotextile: Key Differences
Question: What is the difference between woven and non-woven geotextile? Answer:The use of geotextiles has risen sharply over the last few decades. Geotextiles began with textiles already available on the market, such as carpets and upholstery fabrics. Seeing the opportunity, manufacturers started modifying these fabrics into geotextiles that could add value to road construction. There […]
