Functions of Geosynthetics

Separation:
Our geosynthetic products form a separating layer that prevents intermixing of soft foundation soils with granular materials.  This layer provides structural integrity and maintains the drainage capacity of the granular material.

Soil Reinforcement:
Our geosynthetic solutions increase the bearing capacity of soils by incorporating high tensile strength elements.

Confinement:
Our geosynthetic products increase the lateral stability of aggregate fill through mechanical and frictional resistance.

Drainage:
Our geosynthetic solutions have high permittivity properties that provide high water flow rates while providing excellent soil retention.

Filtration:
Our polypropylene geotextiles allow fluids to pass through material freely while retaining soil particles.

Erosion Protection:
Our geotextile materials protect against, prevent, and reduce damage to surface layers.  These materials prevent water flow, surface run-off, and wave/tidal action from eroding soil particles.

Sealing:
Our geosynthetic materials extend the life of existing pavements and slow reflective cracking. 

Stress Relief:
Our geosynthetic solutions relieve stress on surfaces caused by heavy loads.

Adhesive Bonding:
Our self-adhering waterproofing membrane sticks readily to concrete, asphalt, or wood decks.
