GeoMat

Geomat Erosion Control

GeoMat Erosion Control is an erosion control product produced from polypropylene, used to prevent surface erosion that may be caused by wind and water before planting on sloping surfaces. GeoMat is a multi-layered erosion control material with three layers of integral and rigid ducts made of polypropylene to form a random open structure. The outer two layers are flat, while the middle grid layer is corrugated.

Application and Usage Areas

It is fixed to properly compacted, smooth (rough and not protruding) soils on slopes with U-shaped fasteners. With the anchor trenches created, the materials are fixed to the ground.

  • On road and railway slopes
  • On the pond canal shore slopes
  • On dry channel bottoms and slopes

Advantages

  • As there is no need for an expert application team, it saves application labor.
  • Long-lasting thanks to the raw materials and production technology used.
  • Contributes to environmental protection by preventing erosion and creating infrastructure for greening.
  • Because it also allows greening, it looks aesthetically pleasing.

GeoCell

Geocell Erosion Control

Geocell Erosion Control is an erosion control product produced from polyethylene, used to prevent surface erosion that may be caused by wind and water before planting on sloping surfaces. Geocell is an erosion control material with honeycomb geometry formed by extrusion of high density polyethylene. The joints of the bands are integrated and allow hydraulic flow between neighboring cells.

Application and Usage Areas

It is fixed to properly compacted, smooth (rough and not protruding) soils on slopes with U-shaped fasteners. With the anchor trenches created, the materials are fixed to the ground.

  • On road and railway slopes

GT Braided Geotextile

GT Braided Geotextile

GT Braided Geotextile is a knitted geotextile produced by knitting method, using pure polypropylene yarn, one in the direction of production and the other in the direction perpendicular to production.

Usage Areas and Advantages

  • In structures to be built on soft and weak soils, it increases the bearing strength of the ground.
  • Used as a reinforcement layer on roads due to its low elongation under high tensile force. It minimizes deformations such as uniform seating and pitting caused by vehicle wheels.
  • By preventing the sub-base material from mixing with the ground, it preserves the load-bearing capacity and minimizes the material losses used in the filling.
  • Prevents deterioration on the ground, especially in road constructions, by immediately absorbing some of the load and creating opposite forces at the edges of the local collapse region.
  • For slope stability, especially geogrid reinforced GeoArme structures are recommended, but knitted geotextiles can also be used. This practice prevents soil loss during floods.

Packaging and Storage

It is shipped in rolls with a width of 5.0 – 5.25 m and a length of 100 m.
Materials should be stored on flat ground.
Stored products should be kept away from heat and ignition sources.

Geocomposites

Geocomposites

Geocomposites are materials developed for double or unidirectional geogrid needs in various infrastructure applications, offering separation, drainage and strength properties with a single product. It is formed by combining polyester geogrids, which are knitted in a rectangular shape and covered with PVC, with geotextile during production. It provides high performance thanks to a specially designed sewing method so that it can be more robust at the node points.

Application and Usage Areas

Geocomposites produced unidirectionally or bidirectionally according to the need in the project, in general; It is designed for stabilization between fill layers of different grain diameters or between weak soil and granular fill.

  • Runway, apron and taxiway foundations at airports,
  • Construction of foundation drainage system in airport projects
  • In railway new line construction applications
  • In high speed railway construction applications
  • Applications to be made on weak ground on highways,
  • Filling works of highway widening projects
  • As a deck in ground pile applications
  • It is used in the foundations of container storage areas, ports and industrial structures.

Advantages

  • While it offers all the features of geogrids, it also works for drainage and separation purposes.
  • Providing the performance of two separate products in a single product, it provides ease of application and labor savings.
  • Applied on weak soils with water problems, it prevents the granular filling from sinking into the bottom layer of the ground.
