GEOfabrics has a range of products across a variety of different sectors
Needlepunched Nonwovens
GEOfabrics cuspates are used to provide a void space for the passage of either a liquid or a gas. The manufacturing process involves the forming of a sheet into either cups or studs, with a variety of heights and spacing which determine the size and area of the void. It is common for a cuspate to be used as a component in a geocomposite, used in conjunction with a geotextile filter.
Sheet Extrusion
We extrude both polypropylene and polyethylene sheet materials onsite with a standard width of 1 metre and multiple thicknesses.
Wide Width Lamination
GEOfabrics geotextiles were conceived with optimum performance in mind i.e. maximum performance for minimum weight. Rather than offering products with specific unit weights, individual grades are manufactured to achieve performance-related values.
When designing with a geotextile it is the mechanical and hydraulic properties that are the most important, not weight, to achieve value engineering – the least material to perform the design function(s). The main characteristics that prompt engineers to specify GEOfabrics’ products time and again are their robustness – any damage to a geotextile is more likely to be generated during installation, not in service – and their proven ability to provide sustained protection, separation and filtration in the harshest conditions.
Whether it’s as a filter beneath rock armour on the Atlantic coast or as a protector at the base of a deep landfill sitting in toxic leachate. GEOfabrics’ geotextiles have a long track record of unrivalled performance.
Vacuum Forming
GEOfabrics geocomposites are multi-layered combinations of geosynthetics. These combinations give benefits over individual layers by enhancing functions, increasing interface friction angles and increasing the speed of installation. With careful design they can provide drainage, protection, reinforcement, filtration and barrier functions and replace expensive and scarce mineral resources.
