You asked – We answer Number 13 What should i use? ….a geotextile, geogrid or both
This is a classic question where many of our customers have seen a geogrid and don’t want a geotextile or vise-versa or that they have been recommended a product from a manufacturer of that type product (basically because they don’t make the other type). this guide seeks to provide an unbiased view of the advantages […]
The Best Approach for No-Dig Tree Root Protection: Incorporating Non-Woven Geotextiles, Biaxial Geogrid, and 200mm Geocell
Construction projects often require the installation of temporary access roads to facilitate the movement of heavy machinery and equipment. However, these roads can pose a significant threat to the health and stability of nearby trees, particularly their root systems. To mitigate this impact and provide effective tree root protection, incorporating non-woven geotextiles, a biaxial geogrid, […]
