The benefits of Bentonite (GCL) for lining SuDs basins and ponds for environmental engineering
Geosynthetic Clay Liners (GCL’s) from Stratec, offer a wide range of benefits when used in Suds basins and ponds, providing an effective and sustainable solution. Stratec’s GCL’s are composed of a layer of bentonite clay encapsulated between geotextile layers. This unique composition offers excellent waterproofing properties, ensuring the containment and retention of water within the […]
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 […]
You asked- We answer Number 10 What do i need to consider when selecting a geotextile?
When selecting a geotextile, there are several important factors you should consider. Taking these factors into account will help you make a well-informed and positive choice for your specific project needs. Here are some key considerations: 1. Functionality: Determine the primary purpose of the geotextile. Whether it’s for filtration, separation, reinforcement, drainage, or erosion control, […]
You asked- We answer Number 4 What are the Different types of geotextile?
Geotextiles are permeable fabrics that are used extensively to a very positive effect in various civil engineering and environmental applications. They are designed to perform specific functions, such as filtration, separation, reinforcement, and drainage. Geotextiles are classified into different types based on their manufacturing process, structure, and intended application. Here are some common types of […]
The Transformative Power of Heavy-Duty Geotextiles and Geogrids: Enhancing CBR Results
Introduction: The engineering and construction industry constantly seeks innovative solutions to improve the performance and longevity of infrastructure projects. One such breakthrough is the application of heavy-duty geotextiles and geogrids, which have proven to significantly enhance California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test results. By preventing aggregate displacement and facilitating effective load distribution, these geosynthetic materials contribute […]
The dual benefits of SUDS basins
There is growing urgency for new construction sites to meet sustainability targets. As construction projects create carbon emissions and habitat loss, it is the responsibility of developers to ensure every aspect of a new site includes steps to reduce environmental harm. Sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) provide opportunities to fulfil all environmental, legal and planning […]
