Geotextiles are predominantly made from polypropylene fibers and are produced using standard textile manufacturing methods. They are available in both woven and nonwoven forms, with woven geotextiles being crafted from slit film, monofilament, or multifilament yarns, while nonwoven types are typically needle-punched or heat-bonded.
Geogrids are unitized structures made from woven yarns or bonded straps, designed to allow for soil “strike-through” due to their open structure. They can be either bidirectional, providing equal strength in both directions, or unidirectional, with primary strength concentrated in the machine direction.
Geonets are manufactured entirely from high-density polyethylene, resulting in parallel sets of ribs formed as an integral unit. They are available in biplanar configurations, where flow is equal in all directions, or triplanar configurations, where flow is significantly greater in the machine direction. Their primary function is in-plane drainage, and to ensure effectiveness.
Geomembranes are primarily used for containment, serving as barriers to liquids and gases. They are available in various types, including HDPE, LLDPE, and PVC, and are typically supplied in manufactured rolls that are field-seamed during installation. Geomembranes are often required by regulations for waste containment and are increasingly finding new applications in hydraulic projects and private development initiatives.
Geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) function primarily as containment systems, acting as barriers to liquids and gases. They are composed of layers of bentonite clay sandwiched between geotextiles or geomembranes, forming a highly effective sealing system. GCLs are supplied in rolls and installed with field seaming. Commonly required for waste containment by regulations, they are also increasingly used in hydraulic applications.
Geocomposites combine two or more geosynthetic materials, such as geotextiles, geogrids, geomembranes, or drainage cores, to achieve specific functions. They are designed to provide enhanced performance by integrating the strengths of each component, such as separation, filtration, drainage, reinforcement, or containment. Geocomposites are supplied in rolls and can be customized for various applications.
