Product Advantages and Applications

TS affords drainage systems lasting protection

against silting up.

Granular drainage material remains free draining, thus ensuring

speedy, effective drainage of the subsoil.

TS provides excellent filter properties with high water permeabilityand retention capability to soil particles even under high loads.

TS offers high long-term performance due to the use of selected

raw materials.

The production process (continuous filament) guarantees

the consistent use of highest-quality materials.

The raw material polypropylene is resistant to all chemical and

biological agents usually occurring in soils and building materials.

Polypropylene cannot be dissolved in water thus has no negative

influence on ground water.

The polypropylene used for the production of TS is equipped

with a UV-stabiliser to allow prolonged exposure to sunlight.

TS is the ideal separation and filter geotextile

for civil engineering.

Full design thickness of the base course is ensured over

the working life of the structure by preventing the ingress

of fill material into the fine-grained substrata. Compactabillity of the fill is improved and a more uniform

load distribution ensured.

Stability of the subsoil is increased due to faster

consolidation, long-term settlements are reduced.

TS provides balanced mechanical and hydraulic proper-

ties, optimized to resist installation damage on the one

hand and to provide sufficient reinforcement properties to

ensure the separation and load distributing effect on the

other hand.

P is the ideal geotextile for protection of

geomembranes.

P prevents direct contact of pointed stones with a mem-

brane. The combination of product density and thickness

reduces any such stresses which otherwise might punc-ture or tear the membrane.

P avoids high friction forces between gravel and membra-

ne on slopes.

The permeability in the plane of P allows draining of water

and gases.

P geotextiles are best suitable for protection purposes

due to the special production technology.

The production process allows the use of high quality

polypropylene only. This raw material is resistant to all

chemical and biological agents usually occurring in soilsand building materials. Polypropylene cannot be dissolved

in water thus has no negative influence on ground water.

P is especially stabilised against UV radiation to allow

prolonged exposure to climate.

P shows high tensile strength at low elongation to reduce

deformation of membranes and to better maintain its

protection effect.

P has high tensile strength to reduce risk of slipping

failure on slopes.

The benefits of P at a glance:

High protection efficiency Excellent chemical and biological

resistance High tensile strength at low elongation

F is eminently suited as filter layer

under the revetment.

The stability of the coast line or river bank

is ensured as fine soil particles cannot be

eroded by waves and currents. Free flow between ground water and the

open water is ensured preventing the

build up of hydraulic pressure that could

endanger the stability of the revetment.

Installation is easier and less

expensive than mineral filter layers.

While mineral filters have to be adapted

to the local soil conditions of the particu-

lar coastal area F can be used for nearly

all types of soil.

F consists of two layers of geo-

textiles.

The grey layer is designed as filter layer.

It permits the retention of fine soil parti-

cles and simultaneously maintains highwater permeability. The filter behaviour

is defined by the number of constrictions

which is dependent on fibre diameter, geo-

textile opening size and thickness. Geo-

textiles with more than 40 constrictions

(e.g. thicker filter fabrics) tend to clog.

Therefore F is equipped with a second

geotextile layer to keep the thickness of

the filter layer within the optimum range

and at the same time allow it to accomo-

date high mechanical stress.

The blue layer is designed as protec-

tion layer. It prevents the filter layerfrom being damaged during installation

and service life. This layer has a larger

opening size compared to the filter layer

so that it will not interfere in the filtration

process and thus minimize the risk of

clogging.

A geotextile filter system

3 guarantees free passage of water.

2 allows fine, unstable soil particlesto pass through

1 keeps the particle structure in place

The Geolon PET product range is specially de-

signed to meet the demanding requirements of

reinforced soil structures designed for a long

service period, i.e. more than 100 years. Its ex-

cellent creep behavior and resistance against

damage during installation makes Geolon PET

an extremely cost effective geosynthetic for

soil reinforcement. The standard stock product

range is extensive: from 100 to 1000 kN/m in

machine direction and up to 200 kN/m in cross

direction. Flexibility in production gives us the

possibility to develop tailor made products,

designed to meet your project demands.

The main applications areas, where the pro-

perties of Geolon PET closely fit the require-

ments are foundations of embankments on

weak soils, piles or over cavities. In under

water applications Geolon PET is particularly

effective as it will sink and make installation

that much easier.Creep strain for Geolon PET at various loads

Geolon PP woven polypropylene geotextiles

are available in a wide range of tensile

strengths, from 15 to 500 kN/m in machine

direction. Biaxial versions are available as

standard products up to 200 kN/m, so theycan be supplied immediately from stock. The

PP range at 60 kN/m and above is charac-

terized by an extremely high modulus, giving

the advantage of utilizing high forces in the

geosynthetic at low elongation. This will

result in less deformation than with regular

woven geotextiles.

Other advantages of Geolon PP are the high

UV-resistance, it is chemically inert, and can

easily be prefabricated into large panels for

simple installation.

Main application areas are road and railway

constructions, embankment foundations,

temporary retaining soil structures and

other applications for which not only the

separation function of the geosynthetic

is important but moreover the reinforc-

ing tensile strength of the material is alsosignificant.

Product Advantages and ApplicationsRock PEC has been developed to combine

the functions reinforcement, confinement,

separation, filtration and drainage in one

product. The combination of reinforcement

and drainage makes Rock PEC perfectly

suitable to reinforce soil structures which are

constructed with intermediate or fine soils.

These types of soil are often locally available,

but tend to be susceptible to porewater pres-

sure build up and are normally not suitable

to build steep reinforced soil structures. The

excellent drainage or in-plane permeability of

the PEC enables an accelerated dissipation of

excess pore water pressure and consequent

increase in shear strength. Compared to

geogrids or woven geosynthetics, this results

in significantly higher short term soil strength

characteristics and hence buildability. Rock

PEC facilitates construction with these soils

and shortens installation time.

Due to the better creep resistance of polyester

in comparison with polypropylene and poly-

ethylene, Rock PEC permits a more eco-

nomical design. The non woven protects the

reinforcing yarns against mechanical damage

during installation further improving the long

term design strength of the product.


15/28


Not only in reinforced soil structures, but

also in road and railway applications, Rock

PEC products provide the ideal combina-

tion of functions. It separates the granular

base course layer from the soft and possibly

saturated subgrade, maintaining the mechani-

cal and physical properties and the effective

thickness of the base course over a longer

service period. The unique filter and drainage

capability of Rock PEC allows free water flow,

enabling accelerated dissipation of excess

pore water pressure. Besides, it prevents mi-

gration (pumping) of fine soil particles from the

subgrade into the base course. Stabilisation of

the subgrade and reinforcement of the base

course layer is provided by the high strength

polyester yarns. In effect the PEC does the

job of a separation geotextile and a geogrid

combined.

This results in the following benefits for

road- and railway applications:

Improved service life

Equivalent performance with reduced

base course thickness

Minimized disturbance of subgrade

Provide access and constructability over

very soft surfaces

Establish a well-compacted non

yielding platform

Rock PEC products are flexible and easy to

install. Their surface structure and flexibility

ensure excellent soil interaction.

The way Miragrid GX is manufactured has

two major advantages. Firstly the machine

direction ribs are in a straight line, leading

to minimal initial strain, mostly referred toas construction strain (its the percentage

which a product elongates before actual

tensile strength is mobilized). Secondly, all

the junctions are knitted firmly together,

and with the specially developed coating,

Miragrid GX is a very stable yet flexible

geogrid. Miragrid is light weight and sup-

plied on 5,2 m wide rolls. They are easily cut

to the required length, easily installed and do

not have sharp edges, unlike rigid geogrids.

Especially in higher tensile strength areas,

the recoiling effect of rigid geogrids, the time

to cut the material and the risk of injuries tothe workers makes installation much less

satisfactory than with Miragrid.

Miragrid GX has been specially designed for

reinforcement of granular, fine to coarse-

grained non-cohesive soils. The use of high

tenacity polyester yarns result in excellent

creep resistance, and the high molecular

weight also makes the yarns resistant to the

potential degrading effects of hydrolysis and

chemical attack for the range of pH normally

encountered in reinforced soil environments.

Due to the open structure and the rough sur-face of the grid the soil to geosynthetic fric-

tional interaction is optimised. This improves

the performance of the geogrid via better

shearing and pull out resistance which en-

ables even more economic Miragrid based

designs.

For segmental concrete block wall applica-

tions, Miragrid GX geogrids can easily be in-

Miragrid GX is primarily used for reinforce-

ment of retaining walls, bridge abutments

and steep reinforced slopes. The biaxial

versions of Miragrid GX are used to stabilise

roads and other trafficked areas. In landfill

Polymat protects all kind of slopes against

surface erosion long term. Even during the

early root-formation phase, Polymat affords

the topsoil adequate support. As a result,

roots build a reinforced layer together with

the polymat monofilaments, which is stable

even when exposed to high erosion forces.

Envirofelt CO prevents surface erosion on steep

slopes and provides optimum support for the

long lasting growth of vegetation.

The mat retains humus and by doing this helps

plants through the critical rooting phase.

As a result of the natural rotting process of the

coconut fibres, Envirofelt CO acts additionally

as a fertiliser which promotes plant growth. The

product lifespan of up to five years guarantees

a very adequate rooting phase. In the process,

natural vegetation can grow freely and take

over the task of ground stabilisation.

TenCate Polyfelt Envirofelt CO

TenCate Polyfelt Envirofelt CO is made from 100% natural, biodegradablecoconut fibres (coir). The biodegradation process of the coir adds organicnutrients to the soil, thus acting as fertilizer. Envirofelt CO has the necessarystrength to hold soil in place, thereby preventing surface erosion.

Installation of the paving feltstarts after curing of the emul-sion has began, as this smallquantity cannot bleed through.PGM is laid into the tack-coatby unrolling using speciallydesigned laying equipment.Pretensioning is not necessary.

Even distribution of the second tack coatquantity (B), consisting of parts B1 and B2: B1 is required to saturate the paving felt

approx. 0.8 kg/m2 of 70% emulsion. B2 is required to embed the chippings. The

quantity to be applied varies according to therecommendations of the emulsion producer,and depends on the quality, quantity, shapeand size of the chippings to be used as for

conventional surface dressing applications. Immediately after application of the emul-

sion on top of the paving felt, the requiredquantity of chippings is spread evenly. Thisis followed by compaction, preferably withrubber-tyred rollers.

In the case of double or multi-layeredsurface dressings, it must be assured thatthe tack-coat of the second layer is in fullcontact with the first layer.

After a period of 1 to 3 days, excess chip-pings should be removed using appropriateroad-sweeping equipment.

In the case of spot maintenance, the pavingfelt can be laid into the uncured emulsion,after which the surface is covered with sandto allow temporary traffic.

The hot-rolled asphalt (min. thick-ness 40 mm) can be installedimmediately after the unrollingof PGM-G. It is recommended to use

crawler-type pavers. The temperature of the asphalt

mix must not exceed 160Cduring installation. This nor-

mally corresponds to a mixingtemperature of max. 190C.

At high ambient temperatures,or if an excess of tack-coatbleeds throught, sticking ofthe tyres of the paver of truckscan be avoided by spreadingasphalt mix or chippings intothe wheel paths.

DESIGN PRINCIPLE-) The calculation is based on a comparison between the result of standard calculations for pavement rehabilitation and a

calculaton using a so called fabric effectiveness factor (FEF). The result of the comparison is the extende lifetime of the

structure due to the use of the geosynthetic material.

The pavement calculations are done according to the manual series 17 (MS 17) of the Asphalt institute (USA) or according

to a mixture out of MS 17 and the RVS 3.63 (Austria).

The FEF is evaluated by laboratory testing. Test according to Simulation testing of geotextile membranes for reflective

cracking Proceeding out of the 2nd Int. conf. geotextiles Vol.2.

1) Strength values refer to the glass filament reinforcement.

Important precaution! Store rolls in a dry place! Follow the installation guidelines!

Glass fibre reinforced and combined with

the optimum bitumen-retention capacity of

a mechanically bonded geotextile, PGM-G

achieves a significant reduction in the

formation of reflective cracking.

PGM-G is used when high in-plane forces

in the underlayer construction are present

(with resulting high stress levels).
