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, […]

When selecting the best geosynthetic material for a haul road on a wind farm, you have several factors to consider. Here are some positive aspects to keep in mind: 1. Strength and Stability: Look for a geosynthetic material with high tensile strength and stability to withstand heavy loads and traffic over time. It should be […]
You asked- We answer Number 11 What do i need to consider when selecting a geogrid?
When selecting a geogrid, there are several factors to consider, each with its positive impact on your project’s success. Here are some key factors to keep in mind: 1. Strength and Stabilization: Geogrids offer excellent strength and stabilization capabilities. Consider the specific load requirements of your project, whether it’s for soil reinforcement, slope stabilization, or […]
You asked- We Answer Number 7 Should i use a geogrid or a geotextile?
The choice between using a geotextile or a geogrid depends on the specific application and the engineering requirements of your project. Both geotextiles and geogrids are geosynthetic materials used in civil engineering and construction, but they serve different purposes. Geotextiles are permeable fabrics made of synthetic fibers and are commonly used for filtration, separation, drainage, […]
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 […]
How to prepare your site for adverse weather
As the seasons change and poorer weather sets in, construction sites practices must be adapted to manage and limit the impact of wind and rain. Stepping up maintenance measures and implementing preventative or protective measures will ensure bad weather doesn’t cause excess erosion, slippages or floods. The key considerations when preparing a site ahead of […]
Alternative solutions to achieve abutment and embankment stabilisation
For embankments or bridge abutments to be effective, stability and longevity are key. To provide support and be resistant to soil erosion from water run-off and adverse weather, they must be carefully planned and executed during construction works then maintained on completion. A number of methods are available to deliver stable, long-lasting solutions, including: soil […]
Key considerations when building an access road
Access routes are an integral part of all new construction sites Providing access for staff, contractors, equipment and materials, they are essential to efficient project management and delivery. Correct construction and detailed design is essential for both short-term and long-lasting benefits – ensuring they are robust enough to withstand heavy vehicles during construction works, and […]
