Rooftop Garden Drainage with Drainage Cell
Besides protecting the roof of a house, a rooftop can also be used as a multifunctional area, for example as a garden, usually called a rooftop garden. A rooftop garden needs plants that must be watered every day or are watered by rain. So good drainage is essential to carry water away and prevent pooling, […]
Types of Geosynthetics and Their Geotechnical Functions
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 […]
Visual Soil CBR Identification in the Field
Soil CBR identification. To determine the CBR of a soil precisely, tests must be carried out in accordance with SNI 1738:2011 using a field CBR apparatus or a DCP (Dynamic Cone Penetrometer). This requires certified specialists to perform the CBR test, interpret and process the data, and make recommendations based on the results. For […]
HDPE Pond Liner for Salt, Shrimp and Fish Ponds
HDPE Pond Liner An HDPE pond liner, also known as a geomembrane pond liner, is a material commonly used by aquaculture pond operators in Indonesia. Geomembrane pond liners are generally made of HDPE geomembrane with thicknesses from 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm. HDPE geomembrane is chosen because it has good resistance to weather, sunlight and […]
Slope Protection Engineering with Geosynthetics
Slope protection engineering is increasingly important because soil erosion frequently occurs due to growing human activity and climate change. The continuous loss of soil particles causes landslides, especially on steep slopes. Landslides in countries with high rainfall often claim many lives. Therefore, measures to prevent slope erosion must be taken as early as possible. The […]
